TERRORISM// Terrorists struck at Brussels airport, Belgium’s capital, a city that has become the focal point in Europe’s fight against terrorism in Europe on March 22, in an attack that saw 34 people being killed and injuring at least 250. Bombs went off at the airport and at a metro station, killing these people and injuring many others. The attack was carried out by the ISIS which is based in West Asia. The terrorists attacked Europe as Europe has sent many fighters to fight against ISIS. Brussels is also the city where the European government is located, which is why it was attacked. The explosions drew condemnation from world leaders and sparked a cry for solidarity with the Belgian people. Two devices exploded at the airport and a third, which did not explode, was found in a suitcase, leading authorities to believe the other bombs were hidden inside suitcases. Two of the three suspects from the airport explosions were believed to be suicide bombers.

The terror group claimed it “carried out a series of bombings with explosive belts and devices” in “the Belgian capital Brussels, a country participating in the international coalition against the Islamic State [ISIS],” according to the site.
