Two Americans killed at Brussels Attack
US Secretary of State, John Kerry, visits Brussels, Belgium to sympathize with the Belgians and also two Americans that lost their lives in the recent terrorism attack in the country.
Speaking after meeting Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel, Kerry said the "United States is praying and grieving with you for the loved ones of those cruelly taken from us, including Americans, and for the many who were injured in these despicable attacks."
Kerry did not offer specific details, but a senior official said the families of two Americans had been informed of their deaths in the attacks Tuesday. The official, who was not authorized to speak to the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity, did not have further details.
The bombings killed 31 people and wounded 270.
Kerry landed earlier Friday at the still-closed Brussels airport for his brief visit from Moscow, where he said the attacks underscored the urgency of unity in the fight against the Islamic State.
