Armed gunmen stole diamonds valued at $50 million in a raid at the Brussels airport as the gems were being loaded onto a plane bound for Switzerland.
“It was about $50 million of rough and polished diamonds,” Caroline De Wolf, a spokeswoman for the Antwerp World Diamond Centre, said in a telephone interview. Eight armed and masked men used two black cars in the operation last night, she said.
