Brussels airport remains shut despite test drills

Brussels

BRUSSELS airport did not reopen on Wednesday despite drills to test resuming partial services after the suicide bombings that struck its departure hall and a metro train, as Belgium lowered the death toll to 32.

Zaventem airport has been closed since twin bombings wrecked the departure hall on March 22, in coordinated suicide attacks that were claimed by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and which also hit Maalbeek metro station in central Brussels.
