The terror group ISIS said today that its "fighters" were 
responsible for the terrorist attack in Belgium that claimed 
more than 30 lives and injured at least three Americans, 
according to an ISIS-affiliated website.

ISIS claimed it "carried out a series of bombings with explosive 
belts and devices" in "the Belgian capital Brussels, a country 
participating in the international coalition against the Islamic 
State [ISIS]," according to the site. The claim cannot be 
independently verified and there's no official word from Belgian 
authorities.

There were two explosions in the departure hall of Brussels 
Airport in Zaventem, Belgium, at about 8 a.m. local time today, 
according to Prime Minister Charles Michel, where officials said 
at least 14 people were killed. Three Americans, Mormon 
missionaries, were "seriously injured" in the blasts, according 
to Eric Hawkins, a spokesman for the Church of Jesus Christ of 
Latter-day Saints.

There was also an explosion a little over an hour later on the 
rail tracks at the Maelbeek subway station, according to a 
spokeswoman for Brussels transportation department. At least 20 
people were killed there, officials said.

Between the two sites, local officials estimate that more than 
180 people were injured.

President Obama addressed the tragedy while on a trip to Cuba, 
saying Americans "stand in solidarity" with Belgian people and 
that the United States will "do whatever is necessary to support 
our friend and ally Belgium in bringing to justice those 
responsible."

The Maelbeek station, where there was an explosion on the rail 
tracks, is located in central Brussels near European Union 
offices.

The subway system has been closed entirely and Brussels airport 
officials have been advising people not to travel to the airport.

A surveillance photo released hours after the attack showed 
three men that Belgian authorities identified as possible 
suspects in the airport bombing. It is unclear how the men were 
identified as potential suspects. ABC News does not yet have a 
confirmation on their identities or which, if any, are alive.

Belgian Ambassador to the U.S. Johan Verbeke told reporters that 
"statements ... cries" had been pronounced in Arabic at the 
airport, "so that is the first indication of what the source is 
maybe, but I don't want to elaborate on that because that is 
definitely something that has to be further investigated."

Verbeke said he did not know what was said in Arabic.

The explosions come as Salah Abdeslam, a suspect in the Paris 
attacks, was detained last week in Belgium by Belgian 
authorities.

The explosions have prompted an international response, with 
senior law enforcement officials in the United States confirming 
to ABC News that Homeland Security and FBI officials are 
monitoring closely. The New York Police Department has also 
confirmed that they are monitoring the situation closely.

President Obama has been briefed on the attacks, a White House 
official said.
