On March 22, 2016, two suicide bombers in Brussels killed at least 31 people and injured 270, with subsequent attacks linked to the perpetrators' connections to foreign fighters in Syria. Notably, one of the attackers was deported from Turkey in 2015, and his brother was on U.S. watchlists. The arrest of Salah Abdeslam, associated with the Paris terror attack, is believed to have triggered the Brussels attacks.
