Auburn feels impact of Brussels terror attack

When she heard of the terrorist attack in Brussels, Valentina Hartarska, professor in agricultural economics, said her daughter was scared for her friends who live there.

"I have a young daughter who is horrified because she lived there for three months ... she asked me, 'Why is ISIS so mean?' Hartarska said.

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attacks at an airport and subway station that killed 35 people on Monday, March 21.

Hartarska taught microfinance at two universities in Brussels 

Hartarska said she thinks the attack will make people think twice about traveling there.

"Brussels was a great place, and now I don't know how to think about it," Hartarska said.
