A wave of bombings that killed more than 30 people in Brussels were carried out by Isis militants, the group has claimed.

In a statement released through one of its propaganda outlets, the so-called Islamic State said "explosive belts and devices" were used.

"Islamic State fighters opened fire inside Zaventem Airport, before several of them detonated their explosive belts, as a martyrdom bomber detonated his explosive belt in the Maalbeek metro station," a spokesperson said. "The attacks resulted in more than 230 dead and wounded." spokesman added.

It said Belgium was targeted as "a country participating in the international coalition against the Islamic State". (The Independent)

As soonas it happened we knew it was an act of ISIS. But these western countries should be more vigilant similar to SL which eradicated terrorism in 2010.

Admit more Muslim refugees from the arab world, there would be more bombings until all convert to Islam in the west and AmericasDont accept any muslim refugees.
