On March 22, 2016, coordinated suicide bombings took place at Brussels Airport and a subway station in Belgium, killing 32 people and injuring over 300. The attacks were carried out by ISIS terrorists, and they targeted transportation hubs, spreading fear and chaos throughout the city. The bombings were part of a broader wave of ISIS attacks in Europe, following similar incidents in Paris. In the aftermath, Belgium increased security measures, and the European Union stepped up its counterterrorism efforts. The Brussels attacks left a lasting scar on Europes sense of security and contributed to rising concerns about radicalization.
