breaking news, security expert karl de la guerra is joining us live by phone to give us insight in what is happening. good morning, karl, thank you for joining us. >> good morning, john. >> let me ask you, we were talking off camera, what is the most significant thing you're taking away from what happened in belgium? >> well, john, one. most unique things we're seeing about coordinated attacks is acan takes occurred 80 minutes apart from each other, that is not something we're seeing in the previous jihadi attacks in europe. this is significant in the sense that it says the terrorists made the first attack and waited. waited to see how the police and fire, first responders responded, selected their targets and struck at that time. >> with the airport now closed down and that other terminal closed down now, karl, what would you say u.s. security

behind closed doors? >> all of europe and u.s. are in a state of concern after what is going on right now. assessments and analysis are being -- we're standing by our friends in europe, trying to assess what the situation is. as was said before, brody said no one claimed responsibility for the attack yet. but it is very uncanny this attack would occur four days after a key terror suspect was arrested in brussels. >> what do you think this is going to have impact wise on travel? not only out of brussels but all of belgium? >> well, with brussels being a hub like it is, it is going to impact not only the airlines but also impact across european train that goes through there. i understood a few minutes ago that the french-belgium border is shut down and everyone in the city of brussels is being asked

for some reason my contacts in brussels are telling me at in the hour that police do suspect there might be further attacks as the day goes on. >> karl, i know there had been some talk that the terrorists might seek revenge because of the arrest, but are you surprised or do you think -- should there have been more forewarning about this? is there any significance it happened to happen and no one seemed to be able to do anything about in the it? >> it didn't surprise anyone. there has been a known terror cell operating in brussels a couple years now. this is a lesson in what they do. whether a cell is activated in a city they begin to make plans. they begin to plan attacks and plot attacks. this is attack coming to
