Dikembe Mutombo survives Brussels airport attack

Basketball Hall of Famer and longtime Atlanta Hawks center Dikembe Mutombo reports he is "fine" after surviving the bombing attacks at Brussels' airport Tuesday.

Mutombo, traveling through Belgium on his way to Atlanta from Congo, wrote on his Facebook account, "God is good. I am in Brussels Airport with this craziness. I am fine."

He assured fans more than once, "I am fine."

Bombs exploded Tuesday at the Brussels airport and in the city's subway, killing more than two dozen people and wounding dozens, as a European capital was again locked down amid heightened security threats. The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attacks.
