(Brussels Times) Today (22 March) marks eight years since the Brussels terror attacks which claimed the lives of 32 people and injured hundreds more. The famous Manneken-Pis statue has been dressed for the occasion in a nod to victims and their families.
On 22 March 2016, the Islamic State group (ISIS) carried out two separate attacks in Brussels: two suicide bombers detonated explosives at Zaventem Airport, and an hour later, another suicide bomber carried out an attack at Maelbeek metro station. The events constitute the largest attack on Belgian soil since the Second World War.
This Friday marks the eighth anniversary of the fatal attacks in which 32 people died and hundreds more were injured.
