Now we also know that the state department is still trying to track down these account to the safety of americans. There have been a few reportedly injured but no one can verify embassy so far is gathering information. They are in lockdown and they are telling americans in the area to stay where they are, to e. Its worth noting that brussels diplomatic missions, includiy alliance at nato. Now, as for what happens next, with the president , whether he continues on with his t been changes that we know of yet from the secret service. As i said the president s supposed to speak. Hes then also supposed to attend a baseball game here in cuba as part of his diplomatic. We dont know yet if the secret service will allow him to go through with it. But so far, no major changes to his schedule. Margaret brennan there in havana. Thank you. We should also note that security is beefed up in other european cities this morning after that brussels attack, and to be a similar response in major cities here in the u. S. Following that part of the story. Jeff good morning first question however, any increased level of threat attacks here in the u. S. . Well, no. According to u. S. Weve contacted this morning u. S. , and the u. S. Posture remains the same at this time. T is still assessing whether there are any americans injured in these attacks, and u. S. Officials are on in belgium, and theyre trying to assist where needed as they always do in cases like this. There has been enhanced st novembers attacks in paris, and coordination is primarily in sharing intelligence to help track suspects down. And were going to see that situation. Expect to see stepped up security here at home today. Its a precautionary show of force in places like police are now stationed in front of the belgian consulate in manhattan this morning. The nypd is ramping up security on mass transit around city well. Bridges and tunnels. When it comes to the d. C. Metro system, it is, were told there e to increased security and visibility of Police Following an attack like this. Even if it happens overseas as there are no reported threats totime, as i mention, and the terror alert level has not been increased. And by the way, tsa landed in brussels this morning. He is safe, were told the department of Homeland Security works closely with major airports across europe, and weats why he was there in belgium today. The airport in brussels is not a major u. S. Airline hub in. S. Companies are concerned for their employees, as you might imagine. The airport attack was located in the checkin area American Airlines area. American airlines has released a statement this morning saying, in part, all of our employees and contractors are accountedported injuries. Delta and United Airlines also issued statements this morning saying their employees are safe. Diverted to other airports, to amsterdam, flights to brussels have been gayle . All right thank you very much. Cbs news Senior Security contributor michael morale is a former cia deputy in washington. And juan is with us from salt lake city. Good morning to you. Michael i want to start with you first. We had a statement from thester who says what we feared has happened, we were hit by blind attacks. Can we call these blind attacks heightened security alert . And that this comes three days after the arrest of abdeslam . Y were expecting more attacks . I had two reactions to what happened this morning. One is, its a reflection large how compartmented, how sophisticated the isis terrorist capability is in europe. After the first attack then showed that these they had bombmaking locations. They used individually, one at a time, so they couldnt be tracked. They had forgery capabilities to use passports to move back syria and iraq in europe, so very sophisticated capability. Thats part of what you saw today. The other, i think, is thes this particular attack, i believe, was something that they had in train, they had worked out that they accelerated given the arrest of Salah Abdeslam last friday. He was probably aware of this. They were probably concerned to talk to authorities, and they moved this up. Those are the two things that struck me this morning. Michael, what does it tell you, too, about their choice ofs. The train station and the airport . They want to attack places where they create the most fear. Ght . Where people congregate every day and go about their daily lives, at airports and in erfect place for them to conduct an attack because it creates the most fear. Juan zarate, why are belgium and france such shot spots right now . E longstanding pockets of radicalization outside of paris, outside of brussels. We focused a lot at cbs on theighborhood. These are decades worth of radical individuals whove been drawn to some form of the ideology that isis is now problem, of course, now, gayle, is you have the isis accelerant. Isis is now motivating actors, and as mike indicateng them in sophisticated ways of operating. Training them in syria and iraq, then deploying them back. S shocking to me is that youve had in the wake of the paris attacks, yet another sophisticated,k right under authorities, when they understood that there were these plots unfolding, and planning attacks. Keep in mind, gayle, that belgian authorities had shut down the subway in november of last year were worried about this kind of an attack. One brussels transit spokesman is now saying that the the metro station are 15 dead and 55 injured. That again is just at the metro nclude the casualties at the airport. This attack happened in brussels, juan, but theident this morning said the whole of europe has been hit. Is he right . Hes absolutely right. And the french have talked about the fact that they feel that theyre at war. And these are scenes that arescent of a wartime environment. Unfortunately. And this is a problem for europewide. A problem for d intelligence officials who have to share information to are operating across borders rather fluidly. Pockets of of these countries that are contributing to the potential threat, and certainly a problem authorities try to ferret out other cells and activities that may be a threat not just in brussels, but in places like france and the this is a europeanwide problem and u. S. Authorities are going to try to do everything to help, and certainly to try to uncover what may be unfold all right juan zarate, thank you so much. Now lets bring in a reporter atas outside the maalbeek train station when the explosion started and joins us now on the phone. Tell us what youi was actually outside of the station after the explosions started. Not quite at the time that it happened in the aw people being taken out of outside of the station on the main street in through the brussels quarter, the european quarter. They were being covered in sheets. It was very difficult for police fire trucks to get through because of a traffic jam. Rue de la waue is street and it was actually wounded. There were people Milling Around outside of the station. They had been moved on one sideon around about 15 to 20 meters back and were it was ae. I dont know if people realized what had happened at that point. And now the street has been ng accessed by traffic except emergency services, and people are still walking around, still allowedhe center of town but theyre not allowed close to the station. You said you had warning from your employer, because after they had had the report from the airport you were told do not get on the metro. Ow that. Is that correct . It seems to be the case. The metro was not shut down. It was nothe first probably around 45 to 50 minutes the metro was still running, the trains were still ere catching public transport. We decided, made a decision within my reporting team to try and avoid the metro at all costshat it was not entirely unforeseeable that there would be another attack and if it was going to come it would come in this area because this is the area where all of the eu politicians there were reports that after the attack at the metro station sometime later there were controlled explosions, likely set off by the police. E . Yes, we are hearing that, that there was some suspicious packages found in the vicinity of the european quarter, and controlled explosions, there have been, i believe, unconfirmed reports at this point of fact. Zoya, how would you describe the treat . Right now i think people are a little bit shocked. Its not like we didnt see this coming because this has been happening within europe for now. The terror attacks have been coming more and more frequently it seems. Certainly in brussels, given that we had the brussels lockdown and theterror level around about november when the paris attacks happened. Re in shock that this happened unlike previous brussels attacks the targets were very much a broader stroke of targets. So people at the on trains. I think people are shocked that this is finally seeming to get as well as the people who may for journalists and others who have been attacked in previous cases. To affect and scare the average everyday person. S about the area where this happened . The area of maalbeek where the train was actually the is in the center of tune. It is where the european institutions, the European Commission and the european cop away from those places. Within roughly a 500 meter walk. On the other side of rueloi is the center where the u. S. Embassy is. There are several embassies around the station. The heart of the quart er er where youve got in general. European quarter of brussels. It very much was the people who work in the eu institution. A very important point, the eu has been critical in terms of the refugee crisis. Nato has been critical in terms against isis and terrorism. We should also note as zoya has been pointing out the level of shock and concern and now what will be a fierce response fromvernments. At this hour the french Prime Minister saying we are at war. We have been subjected for the last few months in europe to acts of war. Learly after the attacks in november, in france, 130 people dead. This morning now, it has spread to belgium, witht least 21 People Killed at this hour. Dozens wounded. 11 dead at the airport. And 10 dead at a metrore continuing to follow this breaking news here at cbs news. You had the french president saying we are at war. But you have thester also saying we feared we were hit by blind attacks. Which is raising many questions this morning, considering that this attack happenedthe arrest of abdeslam, and they feared, authorities had feared that there were going to be more attacks, and the country was on high alert. Ng michael back in. With all thats happened today, where did Security Forces security and investigators go from here in terms of dealing withhow does this how does this change what they do . Lets look at this objectively, anthony. S two fold. One is to maintain their safe haven in iraq and syria, spread their heir caliphates to other parts of the world. And then secondly, to conduct attacks in the west that fear, possibly to drive us out of the middle east. Thats those are the two things they want to do. Were having some successeir caliphate in iraq and syria, but they are growing rapidly in the west of the world. Probably have more territory world, than they did at any time. And, theyve conducted now attacks in paris, san in brussels. So, i would say theyre winning, right . Theyre winning, and were going to have to find additionalto undermine them.

Er is in london with more. Elizabeth, good morning. Good morning. And of course everybody is wondering whether todays abdeslams arrest. Security officials in europe have been terrorist violence ever since the paris attacks last november. Belgian police knew they had not completely unraveled the network ofmen, many of whom fought in syria, who either carried out or supported those attacks. The network is bigger than anyonest recently the police have put out an apb for 24yearold imagine up laachraoui, a belgian citizen. Believed to be the bombmaker behind the paris attacks. His dna was found on the remnants of the bombs, and also d by the attackers. In fact he may have actually rented the house in the belgian town under a false name.

Last year in belgium, 30 people were convicted of belonging toerrorist network. Some of them in absentia because they were in syria.

Good morning. Belgium is considered a sending more terrorists per capita to fight than any other country in europe. In december i visited the neighborhood where several of from. So this is number 30. This is the home of abdeslam, one of the men whose car wasund. You can see were literally across the street from the town hall. The other man, the guy who was supposedly responsible for planning the paris attacks,d he also grew up in molenbeek. These guys were friends. They grew up together. The question is, what happened . What happened to take them from to this horrific attack committed in paris on friday the 13th of november. In molenbeek, the town that you are the mayor of, there are some suspected 85 jihadists. Its a big number. A lot of people who are coming from morocco. So, itne of the reason why we have so many people in radicalism and jihadis. We tried to get ut the fight at the local level, its the federal level. The koran. They know nothing about but they were lets say infe
