Bomb attacks at Brussels airport killed 14 people and left more than 90 wounded today (March 22), a spokesman for the fire services told AFP.

"There are 96 wounded and 14 dead. These figures are likely to change; we hope to have complete figures by this evening," the spokesman added.

According to Brussels mayor, a separate bombing in a metro station killed around 20 people and injured 106.

Meanwhile, an army team blew up a suspect package at Brussels airport, an AFP journalist said, amid reports police had found an unexploded suicide vest after two deadly bomb attacks early today.

In a statement on twitter, Belgium's Crisis Centre said army explosives experts would neutralise a suspicious package at Zaventem airport, and shortly afterwards, an AFP journalist heard the explosion and saw smoke coming up from the departures hall building. ends/AFP
