The deadly terrorist attacks that killed dozens in Brussels on Tuesday morning have led to an outpouring of support from people across the globe, including a number of former and current MLS players.


The Montreal Impact's Belgian center back Laurent Ciman, Columbus Crew SC striker Kei Kamara and  New York Red Bulls midfielder Sacha Kljestan – the latter of whom spent five years playing in Brussels for Belgian club Anderlecht – were just a few of the players that took to social media early on Tuesday to share their support.


Former D.C. United player Andy Najar, who currently plays for Anderlecht, and ex-US international Oguchi Onyewu, who spent years playing in Belgium for Standard Liege, also showed their support.  


According to The New York Times, two explosions at the city's main airport, at least one of which was set off by a suicide bomber, and a third in a subway station at the heart of the city killed at least 34 in Brussels on Tuesday, with many more seriously injured.
