By Alastair Macdonald, Foo Yun Chee and Bate Felix BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Belgian police are hunting an Islamic State suspect seen with two supposed suicide bombers shortly before they struck Brussels Airport in the first of two attacks that also hit the city's metro, killing at least 30 and wounding over 200. The blasts on Tuesday claimed by the Syrian-based militants four days after the arrest in Brussels of a prime suspect in November's Paris attacks, sent shockwaves across Europe and around the world, with authorities racing to review security at airports and transit systems, and drawing an outpouring of solidarity. "We can and we will defeat those who threaten the safety and security of people all around the world," said U.S. President Barack Obama.
