IS claims responsibility for deadly attacks on city’s transport hubs

Following the terrorist attacks, a major police hunt was underway last night in Brussels for a young man caught on CCTV at the Belgian capital’s airport.

IS claimed responsibility for the suicide bomb attacks at Zaventem Airport and on an underground train in the Belgian capital yesterday morning.

The incidents , which took place within about 60 minutes of each other during rush hour, led to a security shutdown across the city and the closure of the airport. Three days of mourning are to be held across Belgium.
