The centre of Brussels was evacuated tonight after a suspected suicide
bomber blew himself up in the Belgium capital's Central Station (centre,
an explosion). Shots rang out soon after 9pm as police and soldiers
(top and bottom right) moved in 'to neutralise a suspect who was
threatening civilians,' said an investigating source. The suspect was
said to be wearing a rucksack packed with explosives around Belgium's
busiest railway station. Tourists were among those who fled in panic,
and within a few minutes nearby shops and restaurants were shutting
down. The Grand Place, the city's most popular tourist spot, was
completely evacuated because of fears that the man might not be acting
alone.
