It's sad to see things happen like that! Below is a summary of what went down during Brussels Bombings in Belgium.
"On the morning of 22 March 2016, three coordinated nail bombings occurred in Belgium: two at Brussels Airport in Zaventem and one at Maalbeek metro station in Brussels. In these attacks, at least 35 victims and three suicide bombers were killed, and over 300 people were injured. Another bomb was found during a search of the airport. Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) claimed responsibility for the attacks.
The bombings were the deadliest act of terrorism in Belgium's history. The Belgian government declared three days of national mourning".
It is also noted that 3 missionaries from the France, Paris Mission were injured as they happened to be there at that time after escorting a sister missionary to the airport. According to my last companion who is still serving in the Belgium/Netherlands Mission, 2 of the missionaries have been discharged but are recovering from the shrapnel wounds received from the explosion. The 3rd missionary, a senior couple elder is still in the hospital and is in a medically induced coma. We pray for their speedy recovery as well as for those who were affected by the bombings in some way or another.
