Live Blog: Brussels Attacks

Latest News

-- Belgian authorities have identified the bombers. Federal prosecutor Frederic Van Leeuw has said that Ibrahim El Bakraoui blew himself up at the airport. His brother Khalid blew himself up in a subway car at Maalbeek station in central Brussels.

-- The two men shown pushing baggage carts with Ibrahim El Bakraoui in security-camera footage have yet to be identified.

-- Belgian media, which earlier reported the arrest of a prime suspect in the attacks, said the person detained was not, in fact, Najim Laachraoui.

-- Belgium is observing three days of mourning after bomb blasts in Brussels killed at least 34 people and wounded more than 200.

Although a French newspaper is now denying the arrest of the third bombing suspect Najim Laachraoui:

Our Brussels correspondent Rikard Jozwiak will be Periscoping today, from the central station and from the minute's silence planned at noon. Stay tuned.

Amazing story from Fox about a Mormon missionary who survived the Brussels attack:

An American Mormon missionary who was injured in Tuesday's terror attack at the Brussels airport was a block away from the site of the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013.

Mason Wells, 19, of Sandy, Utah, suffered a severed Achilles tendon, head gash, shrapnel injuries and severe burns when two bombs ripped through the airport's departure hall Tuesday morning. He is expected to make a full recovery.

BBC talks to people who saw the explosions in the airport:

Good morning. We are continuing our coverage of the aftermath of the Brussels attacks.
