Brussels: Brussels airport will remain closed Thursday, its chief executive said, after two bomb attacks claimed by the Islamic State group killed at least 15 people there and wrecked the departure hall.

"There will be no passenger flights into and out of Brussels airport tomorrow March 24," Arnaud Feist said in a tweet Wednesday as the probe into the attacks continued.
