The Belga news agency first reported the development, which occurred hours after a series of blasts rocked the Belgian capital Tuesday morning. At least 31 people were killed in the explosions, according to ABC News, and dozens more injured.
Two explosions occurred at the departure hall of Brussels Airport located in Zaventem, killing at least 11 individuals. Another blast at the Maelbeek subway station killed at least 15 people.
The terror attacks came just days after Salah Abdeslam, a key suspect in the November terror attacks in Paris that killed 130 people, was captured alive in Molenbeek, a suburb of Brussels.
