Recent terror attacks in Brussels, Belgium shocked the world four months after terrorist attacks occurred in Paris, France. Isis has claimed responsibility for the attack on March 22 which killed 35 people and injured more than 300, according to CNN. People are left questioning world safety and the growing power of Isis.

The explosions occurred March 22 in the Brussels Airport and in the Maelbeek subway station. CNN revealed that there were two blasts in the airport, at least one was a suicide bombing.  

Brussels is home to the European Union headquarters and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, making it a prime target for terrorist plots. On March 29, the EU institutions re-opened with higher security in place. However, after the attacks Belgium raised its terror threat to the highest level, according to BBC.

Religion and philosophy teacher Paul Kramschuster calls the repeated terror attacks an “active evil” and believes that the growing strength of Isis is “something we have to solve for future generations.”

The Belgian authorities arrested and charged a man whom they call Faycal C, believing he played a part in the attacks. But they recently released him because authorities discovered that there was no evidence associating him with the bombings. Currently, European authorities are searching for eight suspects believed to be linked to the attack in Paris and Brussels.

United States intelligence officials, according to CNN, foresaw an attack happening in Brussels because of the arrest of the Paris attack suspect Salah Abdeslam that took place in Brussels.
