Brussels Deadly Attacks: Airport Bombing Suspect ‘Arrested’


The suspected ISIS bomb maker behind the Brussels terror attacks, Najim Laachraoui has been arrested in Anderlecht according to reports. Najim Laachraoui is believed to be the mystery third bomber seen on CCTV at the Belgium capital's Zaventem airport just moments before two huge bombs tore through the check-in area, killing about 32 people.


A key suspect in the attacks in Brussels has been arrested, Belgian media say, quoting judicial sources.

Najim Laachraoui, thought to be the man on the right in a CCTV image taken before the Zaventem airport attack, was detained in the Anderlecht area.
Two of the other attackers have been named in Belgian media as the brothers Khalid and Brahim el-Bakraoui.

Twin explosions at the airport and another at a metro station on Tuesday left about 34 dead and 250 wounded.
There has been no official confirmation of the latest arrest or the identity of any of the attackers.

Laachraoui is believed to be the bomb maker behind the Paris terror in November and an Isil commander. He was one of Europe’s most wanted men who gave police the slip last year when he returned from Syria.
