Airport blasts
22 MARCH 2016More than 30 people are believed to have died and more than 100 were wounded when bombs went off in the city's airport, followed by a blast at a metro station.
Hundreds of passengers were trying to check in at Zaventem airport at around 8am when two explosions went off in the departure hall.
Another explosion struck the Maelbeek station in the city, close to EU buildings. Pictures appeared to show the aftermath of a bomb detonating on a train carriage at the station.
Belgian federal police released a CCTV still of a man suspected of involvement.
The suspect was dressed in a white shirt and jacket and wearing a dark hat, and was pictured along with two other men as they pushed luggage trolleys through the airport.
Prosecutor Eric van der Sypt said two bombers had died at Brussels airport and a third is being "actively" sought.
Belgian broadcasters RTL and RTBF reported that anti-terrorist police were carrying out searches in the Brussels districts of Schaerbeek and Jette.

'Islamic state' claims responsibility
The attacks came just days after the arrest of Salah Abdeslam, a Belgian man wanted over the deadly Paris attacks in November
The so-called Islamic State (IS) issued a statement claiming it had organised the attacks in revenge for Belgium joining the coalition that has been targeting its forces with airstrikes in Iraq and Syria.
The statement said: "A small group of Caliphate soldiers targeted the crusader country of Belgium which has been fighting Islam and its own people.
It went on: "A couple of caliphate soldiers equipped with suicide belts and carrying bombs and machine guns targeted very well chosen positions in Brussels, the capital of Belgium.
"They carried out their attacks inside Brussels airport and metro station, killing a number of the crusaders, before they martyred themselves by blowing up their suicide belts."
