Brussels Terror Attack Death Toll Rises

UNDATED (AP) _ The latest on the Brussels Terror Attacks:

The Belgian health minister says four of those wounded in the suicide bombings last week have died in the hospital, bringing the number of victims of the bombings to 35.

The minister, Maggie De Block, made the announcement on her Twitter account Monday morning.

She posted: “Four patients deceased in hospital. Medical teams did all possible. Total victims: 35. Courage to all the families.”

Suicide bombers hit Brussels Airport and a city subway train on March 22 in an attack claimed by the Islamic State group.

The White House says President Barack Obama has telephoned the parents of an American couple killed in last week’s terror attacks in Brussels.

The family says Justin and Stephanie Shults were dropping her mother off at the Brussels airport and were watching her walk through security when the bombs went off. A total of four Americans have been identified as having been killed in last week’s bombings.
