From Heavy (because I don't trust the MSM to report the truth):
Reports are coming in of an explosion of some sort at Brussels Central Station in Belgium. According to Sky News, it’s a thwarted suicide bombing attack. Varying reports state that the bomber had on an explosive-laden belt.
NBC News reports that the suspect has been shot by police. Belgian report that the situation is now under control.
RTÉ News reports that train traffic has been stopped after a “small explosion was heard.”
Remy Bonnaffe, a witness to the attack and provider of the above photo, told Fox News, “he first heard two loud bangs like an explosion, with the first bang taking place while everyone was still at the boarding platform. When the second bang took place, everyone then hid.”
According to Bonnaffe, the thing on fire in the photo is a suitcase that could have been containing the explosive device.
ISIS has been highly active in Europe this spring and especially since the start of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. Yesterday, a suspected Islamic State sympathizer was killed attempting to attack police in Champs-Elysses, Paris.Ace of Spades adds:
The Motive May Never Be Known Update: Man allegedly shouted "Allahu Ackbar" as he attempted to detonate the explosive belt.

Neutralized. No other casualties. That's how it should be done.
Score one for our side although it sounds as if the bomb was more fizzle if it went off before the good guys with guns could arrive.
I love that he was neutralized. Saves the taxpayers money!
Neutralized ... with extreme prejudice.
