Terrorist attacks are not our beat here at Pajiba, but as we continue providing pop-culture and political coverage from the number one Michael Jackson fansite on the Internet today, we would be remiss if we didn’t acknowledge the terrorist attacks in Brussels. Three explosions caused by suicide bombers — two in the airport and one on a subway — have shut down the city. Twenty-eight people have been killed, according to the latest reports, and another 136 have been wounded.

The attacks come only four days after Salah Abdeslam — the only survivor among those involved in the Paris attacks — was captured. Brussels is on virtual lockdown.

We express our condolences for those who have lost their lives after the latest round of terrorist attacks in Europe. For everyone else in Belgium and the rest of Europe, stay safe, folks.

Our thoughts are with #Brussels at this awful time. pic.twitter.com/6ii8HX3eCC
