Belgian police hunt for third ISIS suspect involved in deadly airport blasts
- 8 years ago
BRUSSELS — Belgian police are hunting for a suspect who was seen with two suicide bombers in airport CCTV footage shortly before bombs went off in Brussels on Tuesday.
Prior to Tuesday's morning attack, surveillance footage at Brussels Airport shows three men arriving in a taxi and pushing reportedly bomb-laden luggage on trolleys. Two of the men were dressed in black and wearing black gloves that likely concealed detonators. According to the Guardian, the two men "very likely committed a suicide attack."
The first explosion went off near the Swissport check-in counter around 8 a.m. local time, reported the New York Times. A second, larger explosion occurred near the departure hall's Starbucks. Previous reports suggested that the explosions happened at the American Airlines counter, however, the airlines has since denied those reports.
According to Reuters, a preliminary investigation reveals that the bombs were probably placed at floor-level because most of the bystanders were hit below their waists.
An unused explosive device was later found at the airport.
One of the three men was seen running away from the scene after the blasts. Police have issued a wanted notice for the runaway suspect and are asking the public for information about the man's identity or whereabouts. The Guardian, citing a Belgian state broadcaster, reports that the two suicide bombers have been identified as Belgian brothers Ibrahim and Khalid el-Bakraoui.
Police launched a series of raids following the attack. An explosive device containing nails, as well as chemicals and an ISIS flag were discovered in one raid, reported the Guardian.
