At least 21 dead in Brussels blasts
Smoke rises from the Maalbeek underground, in Brussels, following a blast at the station close
Brussels - Arab Today
Belgian firefighters said at least 21 people had died after "enormous" blasts hit Brussels airport and the city's metro system on Tuesday.
Pierre Meys, pokesman for the Brussels fire brigade, told AFP that 11 people died in twin blasts at Brussels airport.
There were also "around 10 killed at the Maalbeek metro station where there was an enormous explosion," he said.
"Most of the wounded have been evacuated. The scene is rather chaotic," he said.
The toll at the airport was "initial," he said.
"A false ceiling collapsed with lots of rubble and so there could still be more victims," Meys added.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews.
