Gee, I wonder who could have carried out the attacks?
(Daily Mail) At least 28 people have been killed and dozens injured in Brussels after a series of terror attacks struck the city’s airport and a metro station near the EU headquarters.
Witnesses described apocalyptic scenes with blood and ‘dismembered bodies everywhere’ after two blasts rocked the American Airlines check-in desk at Brussels Airport at 8am (7am GMT) in a suspected suicide bombing. At least 13 people have died and 35 were injured.
Then 79 minutes later at 9.19am, at least 15 people were killed and scores seriously injured when a blast hit a Metro station just 400 metres from the EU headquarters in the city centre.
At the airport, there were reports of a firefight between police and the attackers who shouted in Arabic moment before detonating their bombs.
The blasts sent shockwaves through the terminal building, shattering windows, knocking roof tiles off the ceiling and sending terrified passengers running for their lives.
The explosions have left countries worldwide reeling, with security placed on high alert, flights cancelled, Eurostar services suspended and France’s border with Belgium shut down.
Two suspects were arrested in proximity to a metro station. Will they be Buddhist monks?

There are many more photos available at the Daily Mail of the horror and results of these terrorist attacks, which occurred just a short time after the arrest of Paris massacre suspect Salah Abdeslam in the Brussels on Friday. NYC, London, Paris, and many other cities are ramping up security in the wake of the attacks. But, hey, as Scott Johnson notes
But don’t jump to conclusions or get yourself worked up events in Brussels today. You may find yourself accused of “Islamophobia.†It’s a mental illness.
Are we permitted to observe that even “Islamophobics†have real enemies?
BTW, aren’t these attacks bad for ‘climate change’? All that dust and carbon pollution from the blasts?
Oh, and if you thought Obama would be concerned, well, there have been no statements by Obama nor the White House. He was “briefed” while vacationing in Cuba, but, no one seems to have any quotes from Obama. Nor have their been any statements. He’ll get around to it at some point, probably after a nice breakfast that most Cubans have never seen, much less eaten.
Da’ish must want to elect Donald Trump; who’s going to expect Hillary Clinton to protect the United States from jihadi?
And Mr Trump’s ‘plan’ to ban all Muslim immigration, at least temporarily, probably sounds pretty good to Belgians right about now. There will be calls all throughout Europe to round up the Muslims and expel them back to their home countries. Those calls will come from a minority, and will not happen, but I’d note that an anti-immigration party made big gains in state elections in Germany recently.
I noticed a repeating loop image on the news this morning, from the scenes of the terrorist attacks. There were a few people in Arabic/ Muslim garb, which probably bothered some of the Europeans around, and a couple of men in Orthodox Jewish garb, but even the anti-Semites in Europe — and there are plenty of them there — wouldn’t have suspected Jews of complicity in the terrorist attacks.
When are we going to say that we have a Muslim problem? It is time to stop the stupid security that we have that watches everyone and go to one that targets the problem, Islam. Our do gooders will now start talking about all the other murders but they and our country are stuck on stupid and we need a change in direction so we can have our freedom and security returned at the cost of limiting Muslim activity.
Obie addresses bombings in Belgium for about a minute then resumes fellating Raul Castro.
What a guy!

As I saw elsewhere-Hillary just weighed in, and she’s going to find the video that’s behind this. We’re in good hands
Wow, a major tragedy is just another reason for conservatives to celebrate and to mock liberals! Who’d a thunk it?
Trump took time away from fellating himself to promise to rid the world of bad guys!
Jeffrey misses the point:
No, conservatives are using it to mock left-wing policies, policies which let stuff like this happen.
Brussels is infested with an Islamic, Arab refugee neighborhood, and, surprise! from that neighborhood springs Islamist terrorism.
When (perhaps if would be the better word) they investigate all of this, they’ll find that few of the denizens of that ghetto are terrorists themselves, but that a whole lot of them knew about the terrorists, and helped them to hide from the police. Salah Abdeslam couldn’t have hidden in his home neighborhood, for six months, without a whole bunch of locals knowing about it.
What you have is a little Gaza, a population of a few terrorists and a whole bunch of terrorism enablers, the people who provide the fighters with food, shelter, concealment and security, and leftist policies enable such to continue.
