The centre of Brussels was evacuated tonight after a suspected suicide bomber blew himself up in the Belgium capital’s Central Station.

Shots rang out soon after 9pm as police and soldiers moved in ‘to neutralise a suspect who was threatening civilians,’ said an investigating source.
The suspect was said to be wearing a rucksack packed with explosives around Belgium’s busiest railway station.

Tourists were among those who fled in panic, and within a few minutes nearby shops and restaurants were shutting down.

The Grand Place, the city’s most popular tourist spot, was completely evacuated because of fears that the man might not be acting alone.

Failed attack fortunately. Could have been terrible.

Failed attack, yes. Otherwise this could have been another massacre. Went through security.

Belgium has armed soldiers guarding Brussels now. The would be terrorist had barely managed to utter 'allahu Akbar' before he was dispatched. Good job and congrats go out to the soldiers.

Thank God it failed. Lots of people would've been killed.

A happy result. One terrorist dead and nobody else.

Hopefully they've run out of "competent" ones.

Belgium’s busiest railway station. Thank goodness the authorities got to him first. Good job on their behalf.

It's not clear to me whether this Islamic extremist self-detonated or his detonation resulted from getting shot, what I did find striking was the picture of his explosion, all alone, nobody near. I suppose, if he was shot and then exploded, the authorities kept everyone away when they set him off. Otherwise these jihadis need to figure out their mission is to explode in the middle of a crowd.
 
Re: BREAKING NEWS: Suspected suicide bomber blows himself up at Brussels central stat

A Belgian soldier "neutralised" the the alleged bomber after his bomb failed to detonate but rather burned. The suspect was moving around after the burn and was neutralised (that's the term the Belgian authorities are using) when first encountered by the soldiers. Perhaps he had a backpack or some bulky clothing which could have concealed a second bomb and justified his immediate killing, but if not then one has to wonder why the alleged bomber was "neutralised" rather than captured for interrogation and prosecution. Is neutralisation a new European policy?

Cheers.

People who believe that blowing up people somehow makes the world better are definitely not deep thinkers. I think the jihadi was simply incompetent. Good thing.

Joke: Why are so many suicide bombers men?

Answer: Because 72 virgins aren't much of a reward for women.
