TEHRAN (IQNA) – Egypt’s al-Azhar Islamic Center in a statement condemned Tuesday’s terrorist bomb blasts in the Belgian capital of Brussels.

Al-Azhar underlined that such heinous crimes run counter to the teachings of Islam, al-Manar news network reported.

It also stressed the need for the international community to get united in the fight against the threat of terrorism in the world.

Lebanon’s Amal Islamic Movement also denounced the horrible attacks, saying they are opposed to the tenets of Islam and other divine religions.

It added that Takfiri ideology, which is about shedding blood and killing innocent people, can never convey the message of Islam, which is one of mercy and compassion for the world.

On Tuesday morning, two explosions at the Brussels airport and another at a busy metro station in the Belgian capital killed at least 35 people and wounded 230 others.

Daesh (ISIL) claimed responsibility for the coordinated attacks, but authorities said it is too soon to say for sure whether the terror group was behind the blasts.

For the first time in the country’s history, Belgium raised the terror threat to the highest "fourth" level, the country's prime minister said.
