These extraordinary photographs give the first insight into the bomb-making safehouse where three jihadi terrorists plotted to blow themselves up at Brussels airport and on the city's Metro system. The dilapidated flat in the city's Schaerbeek district was used by brothers Khalid and Ibrahim El Bakraoui and master bombmaker Najim Laachraoui, who killed 31 people when they set off explosives-packed suitcases and suicide vests on Tuesday morning. The images, which were captured in the aftermath of the atrocity when police carried out a series of anti-terror raids in the Schaerbeek area, show how officers seemingly busted a hole in the front door before cordoning off parts of the flat.

The image shows dozens of customers wandering through the terminal completely unaware of the mayhem about to unfold when 25 seconds later, suicide bombers Ibrahim El Bakraoui and Najim Laachraou detonated their explosives vests inside the terminal at Brussels airport.

Brazilian-born Sebastien Bellin (pictured left in hospital, right and inset), who lives in Michigan in the U.S., described the moment he was shot and an explosion blew his body through the air 'like a feather pillow' at Brussels Airport. Speaking from his hospital bed in the Belgian capital, tearful Mr Bellin said: 'I was telling myself, "I'm going to make it, I'm going to make it"... I just didn't want my girls to grow up without a dad.' He was one of 270 people injured in three suicide bomb attacks at an airport and metro station in Brussels on Tuesday morning.

These horrific images show the twisted and bloodied pieces of shrapnel (pictured left and right) doctors have removed from those wounded in Tuesday's devastating terrorist bomb blasts.

Belgian King Philippe and Queen Mathilde inspected the fragments today during a visit to speak with survivors at Gasthuisberg hospital in Louvain, Belgium.

Davitt Walsh (right) was reunited with 14-month-old Rionaghac-Ann last night, four days after she was handed to him by her father just seconds before the family's vehicle sank to the bottom of the sea. It had plunged off a pier in Ireland and Mr Walsh made a desperate attempt to save the family. It came as it emerged that Rionaghac-Ann's eight-year-old brother Evan McGrotty made a final heart-rending phone call to his mother Louise James (inset) - telling her he wanted to give her 'the biggest, tightest hug' - minutes before he drowned with his father, 12-year-old brother, grandmother and her 14-year-old daughter.

The Prime Minister (pictured with wife Samantha on holiday in Ibiza in 2013) admitted to colleagues last night that it had been a 'tough week' but urged them 'not to lose sight of what we can do'. He leaves for the Canary Island today - despite urging the public to spend their holidays in the flood-hit north of England to help boost the economy of local communities. Mr Cameron will take his family to the same island where he was stung by a jellyfish in 2014. His authority as Prime Minister was significantly undermined last Friday after Iain Duncan Smith dramatically quit the Cabinet in protest at plans to slash a further £4.4billion from the disability benefits budget at the same time as George Osborne gave a tax break to middle class earners.

Madonna has angered her neighbors by hogging almost four cars' worth of prime parking space outside her $40 million Upper East Side townhouse - putting up fake 'No parking' signs to scare other motorists away. The fake signage includes a 'No parking' sign posted on the singer's security gate, and a 'Tenant parking only' sign mounted on a pole in a flower bed on the sidewalk. Both of the signs threaten that 'unauthorized vehicles will be towed away.' The pop icon apparently also had the words 'No parking' imprinted along the edge of the sidewalk, and painted the curb yellow. 'We've all been wondering for a while now if these signs are real and everyone on 81st Street has just accepted them,' a neighbor told Daily Mail Online outside the four-story Georgian-style townhouse Thursday morning. 'At first we thought it made sense as often you see middle age fans trying to catch a glimpse of her, so it looked like she had a permit to have them so she could come and go without being annoyed. We're now troubled that they could be fake as this just seems so entitled.'

They were supposed to take down 7601 Cousteau Drive (top before the storm) - which is one block away. One of the employees reportedly used Google Maps to share the location of the duplex. When both of the addresses are entered into the app, the same house is highlighted, possibly leading to the confusion
