The Georgia House opened Tuesday with a moment of silent for victims of the latest terrorist attack.

“Evil cowards are still roaming the earth,” House Speaker David Ralston, R-Blue Ridge said before asking the House to stand and offer a silence for the victims in Brussels, Belgium.

Ralston said he wanted a “show of solidarity” for the “innocent victims” of “another senseless terror attack.”

Explosions rocked Brussels airport and subway Tuesday, killing at least 25.

Two airport blasts were reported, at least one of which was blamed on a suicide bomber.

About an hour later, another bomb exploded on a rush-hour subway train near the European Union headquarters. Terrified passengers had to evacuate through darkened tunnels to safety.
