Belgian security forces are hunting down the perpetrators of Tuesday’s terrorist attacks on Brussels -- the worst in the country’s history and a symbolic strike that may widen divisions within the European Union.
Special forces raided homes in the Brussels suburb of Schaerbeek after separate bombings at the city’s airport and on the metro killed at least 31 people and left more than 230 injured. Authorities are searching for one of three men filmed on closed-circuit TV wheeling baggage carts at the airport, with the Belgian government saying others may be on the run. The other two likely carried out suicide attacks, officials said.
