The Brussels
underground station of Maelbeek was reopened on Monday one month after suicide
bombing attacks killed more than 30 people at the city's international airport. On the morning of March 22, three people
detonated explosives in short succession, killing themselves and 32 others in
the departure hall of the Brussels airport and at the Maelbeek station, close
to the headquarters of the European Union's main institutions.
Most of the public transport network in the
Belgian capital resumed with a limited service in the days after the attacks.
But Maelbeek remained closed to secure evidence and carry out repairs.
As of Monday, a full service was operating on
all lines, the underground operator STIB wrote on its website. Police and
military personnel were due to provide security.
A commemorative board was erected in the
Maelbeek station for people to leave messages.
On Saturday, the site was opened for visits by victims and those who lost family or loved ones.
