Brussels Attack: EU Official Breaks Down in Tears After Explosions

— -- Emotions were raw and intense as Europeans were left reeling from yet another terrorist attack today in the span of four months.

It was difficult for even high-ranking officials to contain their emotions.

European Union Foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini was overcome as she broke down during a news conference in Jordan.

“Today is a difficult day,” said Mogherini as she fought back tears, referencing the attacks in Brussels that officials said have so far killed more than 30 people and injured dozens more.

Mogherini was wrapping up remarks today during a joint news conference with Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh when she became physically shaken.

When Judeh resumed speaking, telling her the Jordanians “stood with her,” with Europe and with “all peace loving nations,” at which point Mogherini walked over, embraced him and said "sorry" before walking out together -- abruptly ending the conference.
