Authorities carried out more than a dozen raids. Security concerns forced the cancellation of a peace rally. And at a memorial for the attack victims, anti-immigrant tensions boiled over in the streets.
Here’s a look at the developments over the weekend, days after coordinated attacks at the airport and a metro station in the Belgian capital killed at least 35 people and injured hundreds more:
• Tensions high: Protesters stormed into a memorial for Brussels attack victims Sunday, raising their arms in Nazi salutes and shouting anti-immigrant slogans as they scuffled with with people who’d gathered for a peaceful vigil there. Police in riot gear removed the protesters from the area after about an hour. That was enough time to expose a powerful divide in how people in Brussels are responding to terror.
• Charges filed: A suspect identified as “Faycal C” faces several charges, including “terrorist murder,” the Belgium Federal Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement Saturday. Authorities haven’t detailed what link the suspect allegedly had to the bombings.
• Manhunts continue: Authorities are still searching for two men seen in surveillance footage who they say are suspects in the bombings: A man wearing a black hat who pushed a luggage cart through the Brussels airport and a man spotted holding a large bag at the Maalbeek metro station.
• Sweeping raids: Police carried out 13 raids in and around the Belgian capital on Sunday, taking in nine people for questioning. Five of them were released after in-depth interviews; four remain in custody.
• Arrests in Belgium and beyond: As investigators try to piece together the network behind the Brussels attacks and crack down on terror threats across Europe, they appear to be casting a wide net. Since the Brussels bombings, arrests have been made in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands.
• “Devastated” airport: Officials say it’s too soon to say when the Brussels airport will reopen. Staffers will test a temporary set-up on Tuesday, the airport said, but “a restart in the short term is not possible in the devastated infrastructure.”
• Victims identified: Identifying bombing victims is a painstaking process. And investigators aren’t done yet; so far, they’ve identified the remains of 32 people. Details have emerged about several of the people confirmed dead, including an American couple that had lived in Belgium since 2014, a Peruvian chef and a Belgian law student.
• Tales of survival: We also learned more about the people who managed to survive the bombings, including a Dutch husband and wife who live in Las Vegas and were checking in to fly home when the blasts tore through the Brussels airport.
• Peace march canceled: Organizers canceled a peace march planned in the Belgian capital Sunday because of security concerns.
• Concert called off: Pop star Mariah Carey was supposed to be belting out hit songs at a concert in Brussels on Sunday, but she called off the show over safety concerns.
