Brussels turned into a ghost city on Tuesday as a stunned population ran for shelter after at least 31 died in terror attacks. The government warned that accomplices could be on the loose in Belgium’s capital.
"No one feels safe any more," Paulette Leblanc, 59, said as she stood near Avenue Louise, one of Brussels’ main streets. Police and ambulance sirens sounded on all sides. She was running errands when the attacks took place. "It’s very sad," she said, before heading home.
