Could these have been intended to be set off aboard a US bound aircraft?

I apologise for the repeat thread, didn't notice the other one until after I pressed submit.
AOG yours is timed 7:44 the other is timed 7:43 so it may not have even been there when you entered your "question".
I just noticed we have one at 7:38 as well.

So three questions now !
Wow. Folk are on the ball today !
I doubt it.
The Belgian authorities have been very active and with some success, countering islamic terrorism in the country.
If, as seems likely, the explosions were bombs, it is more likely that the intended target was Belgian, not the US.
Now a metro station in Brussels has been attacked ...just heard that on the news. OMG no end to all this and how long before we see it here!
We've seen it here - 7/7.
Social media show smoke emerging from Maelbeek metro station in Brussels, close to the city's EU institutions.
You reap what you sow.

The liberal left refuse to let us deal properly with these people so this is what happens.
It's worrying that they were able to get all the way through to Departures undetected. An inside job maybe?

Then one has to ask, why the American Airline's check-in desk in particular?
Ymb,
Why do you so easily absolve the murderous terrorists for their actions, and how has the liberal left hampered the hunt for terrorists anywhere in the world?

Belgium has been vigorously following leads since the Paris attacks and capturing potential terrorists. That explains why Belgium is the target now. It does not explain why dead bodies in an airport departure lounge is the fault of the liberal left?

I can only presume the bombs were in luggage, so perhaps one should ask, how did the luggage get through security undetected?
AOG

Your question was if the intended target was an American aircraft, and I don't think it was. The targets were Belgian people in that terminal. Saying that, if the terrorists had bombs targetting passengers, then detonating them near US and El Al desks would have additional chance of killing American and Israeli people. But at the moment, the sighting of the bombs is just conjecture, nothing has been confirmed.
If anyone should manage to work out how they got explosives through security, for pity's sake don't post it on a public forum! We don't want copy artists doing the same!



Belgium has been on the highest possible level of alert since the events at the weekend. Whilst it is impossible to make any public building 100% secure, if as reported, two bombs were let off, it does suggest a major flaw, or a major breach in security.
Like naomi, I think they may have had inside help.
It seems as if the bombs were detonated before they got to security.
The explosions seem to have been in the check-in area so the emerging photographs seem to show. So 'not' smuggled through security at that point. It would be difficult to prevent that happening I would think. Sad times!
Cross posts- Sorry
