Brussels: Belgian authorities found a third unexploded bomb at Brussels airport where twin attacks ripped through the main hall on Tuesday, killing at least 14 people, a regional governor said.

"Three bombs were brought into the building, of which one failed to explode," Lodewijk De Witte, the governor of Flemish Brabant province, told a press conference at the airport, adding that it was later destroyed in a controlled explosion.
