Brussels, Belgium (CNN)Explosions and gunfire rang out Friday afternoon in Brussels -- the focal point in Europe's fight against terrorism following the bloody attacks there just three days ago.

A police operation took place in the district of Schaerbeek, near where a taxi driver on Tuesday picked up three men and brought them to Brussels Airport. There, two of those carried out suicide bombings while authorities think the other escaped; about an hour later, a fresh blast rocked a train near the Maelbeek metro station.

Witnesses told CNN they heard two explosions, while others reported gunfire.

One man said that his son, who has a shop inside the closed-off area, saw an armed individual emerging from a metro shop who was then shot in the leg by police.

3. and be thorough

4. And don't release their names.

Have them vanish after their trial, and let the world know they will be forgotten. No way to get glory or fame from jihad. Your grave will will be marked 24601.

5. Prisoner 24601 stole some bread

He didn't plot to kill.

24601 would be a high compliment.

edit to add: good reference!

6. I just figured since we're hoping

the bad guys find themselves in a French court... it's kind of fitting.

And I doubt any terrorist has the kind of rich baritone necessary for that prison number. But it should be on their grave.
