Yeah that would make things a lot better...

Never mind being proactive and changing policies to create a vetting process for those who are seeking asylum in Europe, or, the cesspit Islamic migration has created in places like Molenbeek...

There is confusion about the death toll at the Maelbeek metro station close to EU offices.

Earlier the public broadcaster VTM said 10 people were killed. But another broadcaster VRT has since reported that no one was killed in that explosion.

Passengers were injured in the blast, AP reports.

Rescue workers set up a makeshift treatment centre in a pub. Dazed and shocked morning travelers streamed from the metro entrances as police tried to set up a security cordon.

“The Metro was leaving Maelbeek station for Schuman when there was a really loud explosion,” said Alexandre Brans, 32, wiping blood from his face. “It was panic everywhere. There were a lot of people in the metro.”

Francoise Ledune, a spokeswoman for the Brussels Metro, said on BFM television that there appeared to have been just one explosion, in a car that was stopped at Maelbeek.

First responders ran through the street outside with two people on stretchers, their clothes badly torn.
