Again terror in Brussels

19 dead dozens injured in explosion at Brussel's international airport. At 8:00 sharply an explosion in the departures hall caused a part of the ceiling to crumble; while people were evacuated another blast occurred. The Belgian government set the terror alert to its highest level. According to the "Telegraph" shots were fired before the second explosion at Brussels airport. Eyewittnesses report intense shouting in what to them seemed Arabic. Reports of second blast at Metro station close to EU building in central Brussels. Acoording to Russia Today 10 were killed on this second scene. Reports of blasts at Schuman metro station remained unconfirmed. Brussel's main train station Gare du Midi was evacuated. According to a US official the attack could be a retaliation operation for the arrest of Salah Abdeslam two days before. In fact, ISIS claimed responsibility for the bombing. Yet, it does not really seem like retaliation: Various media outlets quote a cab driver having overheard them swearing "Never like Salah" just before the attack.
