Victims of Brussels attacks identified

Most of the 31 people killed in the attack hadn’t yet been identified, although survivors’ stories – including those of the at least 12 Americans hurt in the blasts – were being shared widely. The statement blames Belgium for participating in the fight against ISIS and says that “several” fighters detonated explosive belts at the airport and train station. Two Britons, two Colombians and an Ecuadorian national also were among the wounded, their governments said.

Among the first fatalities to be named was a Peruvian woman, Ms Adelma Marina Tapia Ruiz, who had been living in Belgium for six years and was travelling with her journalist husband and young twin daughters.
