#PrayForUsAll Terrorism is one of the scariest things. It does not function like anything else in this world. The Dalai Lama once said “love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.” The world falls to its knees yet again over terrorism  #PrayForBrussels #PrayForPeace #PrayForUsAll

Explosions which ripped through the Belgian capital’s Zaventem Airport and Maalbeek metro station have killed 35 and injured more than 200 people.

The bloodshed came just 4 days after the dramatic arrest in Brussels of Salah Abdeslam – the prime suspect in the Paris terror attacks claimed by the Islamic State group – after 4 months on the run. (READ: ISIS carried out Brussels attacks – ISIS-linked agency) – with reports from AFP/Rappler.com
