Terror in Brussels: Suicide bomber shouts Allahu Akbar and triggers an explosion

Written by Teunis Felter

A suspected suicide bomber who allegedly shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ and triggered an explosive vest at Brussels Central Station has been gunned down and killed by soldiers.  Shots rang out as police and soldiers moved in ‘to neutralize a suspect who was threatening civilians.’  Initial reports suggested the suspect was wearing a rucksack packed with explosives, while witnesses later claimed he tried to blow up a trolley or a suitcase. The Grand Place, the city’s most popular tourist spot, was completely evacuated because of fears that the man might not be acting alone.
