The university VUB says they've received a 'specific threat' to one or more of their campuses

Haven't seen any official reports on that yet, but it's very possible they are.

It's a TV channel called RTBF saying it, so not confirmed

I didn't say it wasn't confirmed, I said I hadn't seen any official reports yet.
(The Dutch speaking media I follow hadn't reported on that at the time and I don't speak French, so don't follow French news.)

That said, since the bombings seem to be confirmed suicide attacks it's very likely that they have already identified the culprits and that they're now searching their homes as well as the homes of associates that are on the radar of several anti-terrorist orginizations.

It was something I saw on the news site here and it was reported by one channel so I thought I'd add that it wasn't confirmed. Sometimes the reports aren't accurate.


They are also saying there could still be suspects alive and police neutralized a bomb belt that hadn't exploded at the airport. It seems one of the bombs had nails in it

It's hard to interpret the meaning of Internet posts sometimes, I'm sorry.

That said, they are reporting the same here.
They found a third belt that didn't go off so they are indeed suspecting a third culprit.

yep they found alot of nails in victims in the hospital of Leuven (so chances are big nailbombs where used in zaventem airport).

but yeah we could have expected this after they caught abdeslam last friday (who was involved in the paris attacks)... .

so far it looks about 34 deaths and 180 wounded

entire brussel is on lockdown and the entire country is under terror threat 4

they are currently working on getting trains going again by 4pm our time.
schools are staying close tomorrow but other then that not alot of news your missing really...
they are looking all over for bombpacks seeying if there's maybe something they missed but I think it's over (looks that way anyway)... All we can do at this point is wait and see how the numbers rise, from what i gather they found 1 car with a bomb left in it at the airport wich they detonated but this was about an hour and a half ago...

Point stands, you can't have good Tex-Mex without having it from Texas.

Like you can't have good sushi without eating it in Japan. Or good Italian food without eating it in Italy (although I know a place in SA that comes close, actually decent)....
Actually tourists from Japan RAVE about the sushi in Seattle.

Most of the fish from Alaska is factored by Seattle companies and Seattle's Alaskan fish is at least a day, if not three, fresher than Japan's.

I wonder if this was in response to the police raids that were recently carried out and the arrest of one of the perpetrators of the Paris attacks.

I'm not too worried about that Rua, yes, the right wing is getting a stronger presence here, but I do not see them take over as they won't get enough support to form a majority in most of the European political systems.

Personally, I'm far more worried about the USA in that regard.
So *** surreal that a terror attack in Europe will have a bigger affect on US politics than the areas actually attacked.

All I saw yesterday was "Trump, trump, trump" when it happened.

He's a publicity *** and he's good at it. He knows how to get the cameras to look at him.

Well, in our defense, we had a stupid administration who thought they could control a bunch of unorganized rebels after they, you know, train them and make them organized.

Instead, we get our own weapons pointed right back at us and the rest of the world.

...not even a little bit accurate. Even if Big O was like that (he's not), Trump has been doing it longer than Obama has been in the public eye.

If anything, it would be Obama having learned from Trump...

You'd think we'd have learned after the last few times, but nope. We needed to do it again.

On topic of the Brussels attacks, I hope that Belgium doesn't react as poorly to this as the US did in 2001.

Trump's whoring was mainly business, not governmental.

Governmental public whoring is a whole new ballgame, and Obama is king of the *** in that aspect. Remember, it's Bush's fault!

There is no such thing as a "religion of peace"

It's all a marketing tool to bring in people who don't know better.

Religion, by it's core, requires conflict. Good vs. Evil. Man vs. Beast. Us vs. Them.

Religions have to have conflict in order to exist.

Explain how a religion is considered peaceful when it's very messages endorses conflict.

Like I said before, Good vs. Evil, Man vs. Beast, Us vs. Them. They all have those same messages....
