CBS News: ISIS Claims Responsibility For Deadly Brussels Attacks

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- According to CBS News, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has claimed responsibility for the deadly Brussels attacks.

Officials say at least 36 people were killed in what Belgian federal prosecutor Frederic Van Leeuw said were "terrorist attacks" in the city, which has been on high alert since the Paris carnage last year.

A U.S. law enforcement source tells CBS News that there were two known U.S. citizens injured in the attacks, and the State Department was still trying to confirm the whereabouts of an employee who remained missing.

The CEO of Brussels Airport says the airport will remain closed through Wednesday.
