BRUSSELS BOMBINGS : MERKEL'S CHICKENS COME HOME TO ROOST

The blame for this can be laid squarely at the feet of Merkel, Juncker, Hollande, Cameron, Tusk and the "mainstream media" - in particular CNN - that continue to shill for the importation of the "migrants" into the EU

Once a bastion of freedom and cosmopolitan culture, Brussels yesterday resembled an armed encampment following two bomb blasts at Brussels’ Zaventem Airport in the early morning, one an apparent suicide bomb with another bomb exploding at the Maalbeek Metro station, close to the headquarters of the European Union.

Belgian authorities report at least 14 killed and 2 injured in the Zaventem airport bombing and 20 confirmed dead, 130 wounded in the metro station blast. 

There have been conflicting reports on the numbers of dead and injured from both attacks, with various local media reporting different casualty numbers and Belgain authorities for the moment reluctant to comment for the record.

Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel confirmed that the blasts were terrorist attacks. 

Three Americans from the State of Utah have been reported injured in the attacks. Their identities are listed asare 66-year-old Richard Norby, 20-year-old Joseph Empey and 19-year-old Mason Wells.

Federal Prosecutor Frederic Van Leeuw has released the security camera images of three men shown pushing airport luggage carts through the concourse. He said that they are currently the main suspects.

Belgian authorities shut down all Brussels metro stations and evacuated the city's airport.

Two nuclear power plants in Belgium sent home all but essential staff: one in Tihange and the other in Doel. Belgian authorities ordered this evacuation, though a representative refused to comment.

One survivor, a French national named Edme' who refused to give his last name sat outside the EU headquarters, blood from several shrapnel wounds dotting his shirt put the blame on Merkel and Hollande: "They (Merkel and Hollande) are responsible for this insanity, their inviting in people from Syria and Iraq with no idea who or what they are… and now this. We (his family) are going to leave the EU, move to another continent as the Europe we knew is no more."
