The terrorist attack on Brussels Airport in Belgium Tuesday that left 34 dead and hundreds wounded had among them a U.S. airman and his family, who had been traveling. 

"We are saddened by today's attacks and extend our sincere condolences to the victims and families of those impacted," Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James said in a statement. "Our priority at this time is the safety and well-being of our Airmen and their families."

Due to security reasons, the U.S. airman was not named, but Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Welsh III did wish him and his family well as they travel safely home. 

"Our thoughts and prayers are with our Air Force family, and with the hundreds of others affected by these tragic events," said Welsh. 

All "unofficial travel" to Brussels has been banned by the U.S. military until further notice.
