Armed robbers have made off with a “gigantic” haul of diamonds after a rapid raid at Brussels Airport in Belgium.
Disguised as police, they broke through a fence on Monday evening and broke into the cargo of a Swiss-bound plane to take the gems, estimated to be worth $50 million.
The World’s Gerry Hadden reports on the daring heist.
