President Sirleaf, who was accompanied by Foreign Minister Marjon Kamara, Transport Minister Angela Bush Cassell, the Director General of the Cabinet, Jordan Solunteh, and Press Secretary Jerolinmek Piah, Thursday signed the book of condolence at the Brussels Airlines office on Ashmun Street n Monrovia.
Following the signing, the Liberian leader thanked staff of the Airlines for the hard work and high level of professionalism they have exhibited over the years and admonished them to remain steadfast in the discharge of their duties.
At least 34 people were killed and 190 wounded when three explosions hit Brussels in the morning of Tuesday, March 22. The first two explosions took place at Zaventem Airport, and the third on a subway train near European Union headquarters.
Belgian Federal prosecutor Frederic Van Leeuw called all three explosions terrorist attacks which ISIS later claimed responsibility for, thus making Belgium to raise its terror threat alert to the highest level.
On Wednesday, Belgian police sources named the two suicide bombers as brothers Khalid and Brahim El Bakraoui.
Police are said to be hunting a third man who was pictured with the two brothers at Brussels Airport on Tuesday, but is believed to have escaped the airport.
Liberians who were transiting to the United States and other parts of the world were among those stranded at the airport after authorities halted in-bound and out-bound flights
