Bombings in Brussels Airport and Metro Stations

 

 

Dear Colleagues,

 

Early this morning a number of bombs exploded in Brussels Airport. Since
then further bombs have been found in three Metro stations. The situation is
very unstable. News and rumours of new bombs and arrests are being received
all of the time. We have decided to close head office for the remainder of
today and tomorrow and review the situation at that time.

 

In so far as we can ascertain, all EI staff are secure. A number of staff
are abroad and unable to return for the moment but everyone is safe. We
would like to thank those who have contacted us to express their concern.

 

We would also like to take this opportunity to express our condolences to
the families of those who were killed and our sympathies to the injured.

 

These horrendous and tragic events are an attack on the values of democracy,
equality and freedom. They will not succeed in undermining those values but
reinforce the commitment of civilized people everywhere to uphold them.

 

Kind regards,

 

Fred van Leeuwen,

General Secretary

Education International
