A witness said he heard shouts in Arabic and shots shortly before two blasts struck a packed airport departure lounge at Brussels airport, though this claim has not been confirmed by authorities and no organisation has claimed responsibility for the attacks.The blasts occurred four days after the arrest of Salah Abdeslam, a suspected participant in November militant attacks in Paris that killed 130 people.Belgian police and combat troops on the streets had been on alert for reprisal but the attacks took place in crowded areas where people and bags are not searched.
