Belgian transport minister steps down over airport security

브뤼셀 공항 보안 실패 책임…벨기에 교통장관 사임 Belgium's transport minister has resigned amid allegations she lied about a report critical of Brussels Airport security ahead of last month's suicide bombings. Minister Jacqueline Galant previously maintained before parliament that her office was not aware of the report sent by EU officials in March 2015. But opposition parties in Belgium say they have emails that prove otherwise. European Commission officials have declined to comment on the report... but say they carry out regular security checks at airports. On March 22, two Islamic State suicide bombers detonated suitcase bombs in the airport departure hall before a third struck a metro train in the city. They killed 32 people and injured hundreds of others. Galant is the first high-ranking official to resign over the fatal attacks. Belgium's interior and justice ministers previously offered to resign... but Prime Minister Charles Michel asked them to stay on.
