2 Americans Killed During Brussels Attacks; 6 Detained in Raids
---------------------------------------------------------------

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has confirmed in a news conference in
Belgium today that two Americans were among the 31 killed during
Tuesday's bombing attack targeting the Brussels Airport and a crowded
subway station near the headquarters of the European Union. This comes
as Belgian authorities have detained at least six people suspected of
being involved. Overnight and on Friday morning, authorities carried out
sweeping raids as a search continues for at least one suspect, whom U.S.
authorities say they've identified, although they haven't released a
name. Both Belgium's interior minister and justice minister offered to
resign after it surfaced that authorities failed to heed a warning from
Turkey that one of the suicide bombing suspects was a militant.
Belgium's prime minister declined to accept the resignations.
