Not a lot of details yet. About twenty people died, on two sites and due to explosions.
Pretty obvious that muslim terrorists are behind this, rather uninspired, attack.
Silent resistance begins with pork chops tonight.
Edit: Death count up to 34.
Edit2: From the looks of it, a bomb exploded in the metro that I usually take, in "my" direction and around the time that I pass there. Quite tangible.
Edit3: Metro ran in the other direction.

Rather uninspired? It seems like a sloppy variant of an attack that has been in the works for a while to me. Perhaps the arrest of Abdeslam a few days ago triggered a rush out of the plans due to the possibility of leaking information of him.
The targets where clear: public transport routes towards the headquarters of the European Union and locations with many people.
A bit more information that I get from my dutch media outlets:
Two explosions on Zaventem airport with a third belt of explosives found. The wearer of the third belt is fugitive. Currently 14 deaths and 92 injured. Explosives appear to have been augmented with nails.
One explosion in metro station Maalbeek. 20 deaths and 55 injured.
Apparently IS has made a claim, but that is insubstantial at best. Paranoia coming from the Ukraine with it's prime minister accusing Russia from a "divide and conquer" campaign from which this would be part.
Brussel is under lockdown, practically all public transport is closed off. Most important governmental sites are closed and under extra protection. Life is just grinding to a halt there as landlines, mobile phone networks and internet are getting overloaded. The city itself is apparently choked with traffic.
In the Netherlands it's raining special police force actions with a plethora of suspicious packages, various arrests on suspicious behaviour across major trainstations and other problems inspired by the ensuing panic.
I have some sms's that did not get through though.
Midi and north station will reopen in an hour. Central station remains closed. They are worried about a safe way to get the commuters back. Especially since it is unclear whether the perps are alive or not...
Actually, the bomb in the metro exploded on a metro from Maalbeek to Kunst-Wet (Art-Loi), which is already away from the EU. Anyway, does not really matter.
Apparently the perpetrators have been caught on camera. The two on the left are expected to be dead, the one with the hat is expected to be the one that is currently fugitive.
