Brussels attacks death toll rises to 35

The death toll of the Brussels' terror attacks has risen to 35 after four people died in hospital from their injuries.

Belgium's Health Minister Maggie de Block tweeted on Monday: "Four patients deceased in hospital. Medical teams did all possible. Total victims: 35. Courage to all the families." 

The revised death toll includes the three suicide bombers. 

The twin bomb blasts at Zaventeem airport and at the Maalbeeck Metro station in the heart of the Belgian capital on Tuesday injured more than 300 people.

On its website, the Belgian Crisis Centre said 28 victims were identified and three families are still waiting for the results of DNA tests. 

Among the victims, 15 were killed at the airport, six of whom were Belgians and nine were foreign nationals. 

The 13 victims of the Metro blast included 10 Belgians and three foreign nationals, including Briton David Dixon. 

Other foreigners killed in the attacks include Italian, Chinese, Dutch, French, Germans, Swedish and US nationals.
