BRUSSELS ATTACK: Suspect of Airport Bomb attack apprehended

Najim Laachraoui

According to BBC News, some Belgian media say he is Najim Laachraoui, thought to be the man on the right in a CCTV image taken before the Zaventem airport attack.

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.
Belgium is observing three days of national mourning.
So-called Islamic State (IS) has reportedly said it was behind the attacks and warned that more would follow.

A minute's silence for the victims will be held at midday (11:00 GMT).
There has been no official confirmation of the latest arrest or the identity of any of the attackers.
Newspaper La Derniere Heure said Laachraoui was detained by the police's counter-terrorism unit in the capital's Anderlecht area on Wednesday.

Analysts say Laachraoui is believed to be a key bomb maker, and French media say he also played a major role in the terrorist attacks in Paris in November that left 130 people dead.
