Belgian authorities said Saturday that the widely reported death toll of 31 from the terror attacks earlier this week in Brussels included the three suicide attackers, putting the tally of victims killed at 28.
The bodies of 14 victims were recovered at the Brussels Airport and 14 others at the Maelbeek metro station, officials said.
Authorities, meanwhile, continued the complex task of unraveling the plot behind Tuesday's horrific bombings -- announcing that they had charged one individual with "terrorist murder."
The person, who was identified only as "Faycal C." by Belgium's Federal Prosecutor's Office, was arrested Thursday by Belgian authorities and formally charged Friday. Authorities didn't specify what role the person is suspected of having in the bombings at Brussels Airport and a downtown subway station that left 28 people dead and more than 300 injured.
