More than 30 people were killed and dozens injured in attacks on Brussels airport and a rush-hour metro train in the Belgian capital on Tuesday.
Twin blasts hit Zaventem airport at about 07:00 GMT, with 11 people reported killed. Another explosion struck Maelbeek metro station near EU headquarters an hour later, leaving about 20 people dead.
Police operations were under way at several points in the city but a lockdown imposed immediately after the attacks was eased and commuters and students headed home as public transport partially reopened.
The Islamic State (IS) group said it was behind the attacks in a statement issued on the IS-linked Amaq agency.
Brussels police have issued a wanted notice for a man seen pushing a luggage trolley through the airport. He was pictured in CCTV footage with two other suspects who are believed to have died in the blasts.
The coordinated assault triggered security alerts across Europe and drew global expressions of support, four days after Brussels police had captured the prime surviving suspect in Islamic State’s attacks on Paris last November.
Belgian security officials made little comment but U.S. officials said that while the attacks may have been triggered by the arrest of Salah Abdeslam, the level of organization involved suggested that they had previously been in preparation.
