Maelbeek

Maelbeek is a metro station in Brussels, Belgium, that was one of the targets of the coordinated terrorist attacks on March 22, 2016. These attacks, claimed by ISIS, also targeted Brussels Airport in Zaventem. The 10th anniversary of the attacks is the reason for the recent news coverage, with articles focusing on the ongoing trauma experienced by survivors and the recognition of a 36th victim, Katarina Viktorsson, who died by suicide years after losing her mother in the Zaventem airport attack. The anniversary serves as a reminder of the enduring impact of terrorism and raises concerns about the potential resurgence of extremism. Commemorations are being held to honor the victims and acknowledge the lasting pain and anger felt by those affected.
