Four people have died in hospital following last week’s triple bombing attack in Brussels, the federal prosecution says, raising the total number of victims to 35.

The attacks took place on the morning of March 22 at the Belgian capital’s international airport and at the Maelbeek metro station, near the Brussels seat of the European Union’s main institutions.

Thirty-one people died in the explosions, in addition to the three suicide bombers. Four more people have since died in hospital, a prosecution spokesman said, quoting figures issued by the federal health department.

The Islamic State extremist group has claimed responsibility for the attacks.
