Looking at the picture and at the newspaper. He first had a smaller bomb detonate, probably to cause confusion and then he supposedly screamed "Alahu Akbar" but the soldiers reacted immediatly and neutralized him. The first bomb didn't wound anyone.

huh, well too bad all terrorists can't plan things out that poorly.

Out of interest though, is it normal to have soldiers at train stations in Belgium? Or were they there because they already anticipated some kind of attack or something?

Since the terror threat began, the police forces in Brussels have been re-enforced by the military. They've been there for about a year now. They're mainly concentrated in sensitive areas (Central Station, European and Belgian Parliament, Royal Palace, American Embassy (that place is a near fortress)).
