Minutes later, reports of additional explosions and downtown brussels, all of this days after the Salah Abdeslam arrest for the terror attacks in paris that left 130 dead. The former u. S. Ambassador to brussels, and firsthand the countrys early response to what appears to be a wave of attacks. Everything is in disarray, trying to batten down the hatches, it seems like.
