2016 Brussels bombings

On the morning of 22 March 2016, three coordinated bombings occurred in Belgium: two at Brussels Airport in Zaventem and one at Maalbeek metro station in Brussels. In these attacks, 31 civilians and two suicide bombers were killed, and 250 other civilians were injured, resulting in three days of national mourning in Belgium. An assault rifle and a third bomb were found during a search of the airport. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) claimed responsibility for the attacks. It was the deadliest act of terrorism on Belgian soil.[4]
