Terrorist Attack In Brussels Airport and Metro Station This Morning

This morning there was a double bomb explosion in Brussels, Belgium

 In the National Airport entrance hall an estimated 13 people were killed by a big explosion; around the same time another bomb exploded in Metro station 'Maalbeek,' close to the financial district, killing an estimated 10 persons.

  Note: story updates bump this figure ot at least 34 deaths.

 Shots were fired and Arabic shouted before the blasts, suggesting a terrorist attack. Video and images on social media showed smoke rising from an airport building and shattered
windows.

 Confused and shocked passengers fled the terminal to safety as they were evacuated by armed police. 

Footage showed rubbish littered across the floor. 

All traffic from and to the airport has been suspended. 

The airport is monitoring the situation closely and will deliver further announcements in Twitter.
