    I'm sure many of y'all have already heard of this, but just in case, here's a link to the story. A suicide bombing took place at the airport, and a while later, another blast occurred at a metro station. http://abc13.com/news/at-least-31-killed-in-brussels-terror-attacks/1256806/ The local police have been warning citizens in Brussels to expect an attack. I hadn't heard that prior to reading this, but it's not surprising, in light of the recent arrests related to the Paris attacks. There are a couple of videos attached to that link I posted above. Be careful watching, I haven't viewed them, but see mention of a lot of blood.

    Here's another link, this one's from CNN. http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/22/europe/brussels-explosions/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2016/03/22/europe/brussels-explosions/index.html Apparently there were 3 blasts. The death toll is now at 32, with 170 or more wounded. There was also a controlled explosion at the airport, by law enforcement, when another bomb or suspected bomb was located. At least one of the explosions was a suicide bombing, outside of the security area at the airport, by the check-in counters.

    Europe is open season for terrorists. It is too bad good people must suffer for the actions of those who don't respect or value life. I saw this cartoon posted showing solidarity with France and Belgium...heartbreaking.

    No one talks about the cause these refugees first they are not all from Syria they come from Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Africans traveling through Libya. All these countries were destroyed by the United Nations.thinking they are smarter than the peaceful people who were living in these countries..
    Whatever happened to the idea of leaving people alone.

    Donald Trump is sounding smarter all the time. We must not allow them to come here.

    Mia Love was on facebook saying three Mormon Elders were among the injured.

    Gone are the days when opening your doors to any stranger was a nice thing to do…now it's naive and not too bright.
