Brussels Bombers

Belgian soldiers shot dead a suspected bomber who set off an explosion in one of the busiest train stations in Brussels on Tuesday.

Belgian security forces have identified a man who set off an explosion at a Brussels train station before he was shot and killed, Interior Minister Jan Jambon said today.

A year after ISIS suicide bombers killed 32 people in Brussels, Belgian authorities say much remains unclear about who ordered the attacks, even if those who staged them are either dead or in jail.

Mourad Laachraoui, the brother of Najim Laachraoui who was involved in the bombing of Brussels airport, won gold in the European Taekwondo championship and in the process, as qualified for the Rio Olympics.

New security checks at Brussels Airport, where ISIS suicide bombers killed 16 people in March, are creating huge queues and causing passengers to miss flights, a situation the airport operator described as "bizarre".

Brussels airport is partially reopening its departure hall today, about six weeks after ISIS suicide bombers killed 16 people there in blasts that gutted parts of the building.

Najim Laachraoui, one of the Brussels airport suicide bombers, has been identified by several Frenchmen held hostage by ISIS in Syria as one of their prison guards, sources close to the investigation said.

One of the jihadists who blew themselves up at Brussels airport last month had in fact worked at the site for five years until 2012, Belgium's VTM television reported Wednesday.

Brussels airport will fully re-open in June, its chief executive said, after suffering extensive damage when two suicide bombers blew themselves up in the departures hall last month killing 16.

Three weeks after being struck by ISIS suicide bombers, Brussels Airport was forced to close again briefly on Tuesday due to industrial action by Belgian air traffic controllers.

The terror cell behind bombings in Brussels had been plotting to hit France again after carrying out the Paris attacks in November, but was forced to strike closer to home as police closed in, Belgian prosecutors said on Sunday.

The planners behind the March 22 bombings in Brussels which killed 32 people had initially planned to attack Paris but struck closer to home as investigators made arrests among key suspects, Belgian prosecutors said.

Paris attacks suspect Mohamed Abrini was charged on Saturday with "terrorist murders" and confessed he was the man in the hat seen with the suicide bombers at Brussels airport, Belgian prosecutors said.

Belgium's federal prosecutor said today that Paris attacks suspect Mohamed Abrini admitted to being the "man in the hat" seen accompanying two suicide bombers at Brussels airport on March 22.

One of two ISIS terrorists who blew themselves up at Brussels airport on March 22 briefly worked as a cleaner at the European Parliament several years ago, the EU body said Wednesday.
