Brussels Attacks: Suspects On CCTV At Airport

A picture has emerged showing three men who could be involved in the deadly bomb attacks which hit Brussels' airport and the metro system.

Two men wearing dark tops are suspected of carrying out the atrocity at Zaventum airport, reports say.

A man to the right of them, wearing a white jacket, is on the run and being hunted by authorities, it is claimed.

At least 34 people were killed and nearly 200 wounded after the apparently co-ordinated attacks.

Shots were fired as the attackers at the airport reportedly shouted in Arabic before two explosions.

Maalbeek metro station was also targeted in an attack during the morning rush hour.

The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the attacks, saying its extremists opened fire in the airport and "several of them" detonated suicide belts.

The Belgian capital was put on lockdown - with public transport suspended and people told to stay in their homes and offices - amid fears of further attacks.

Prosecutors told the Belga news agency that two detonators and a large cache of weapons were found in an apartment from which Abdeslam was thought to have fled from last week before eventually being apprehended.

Belgian authorities fear he had accomplices while on the run who are still at large and could pose a threat.

These others include Najim Laachraoui, a suspected Paris attacks accomplice.

Police found his DNA on explosives used during the Paris assault, a source close to the French investigation told the AFP news agency on Monday.

The 24-year-old left for Syria in 2012 and returned to Europe in September using false documents, travelling with Abdeslam using false documents.

Investigators have admitted they are still “far from solving the puzzle” of the Paris attacks, and that they do not know the “full timeline” for what Abdeslam did in between escaping France and being arrested.

As well as Laachraoui, one other suspect remains on the run.

Like Laachraoui, Mohamed Abrini became friends with Abdeslam when they were teenagers.

The 30-year-old was seen driving a car with Abdeslam two days before the Paris attacks.
