ISTANBUL: One of the attackers in the Brussels suicide bombings, Ibrahim El Bakraoui, was deported twice from Turkey last year, in July and August, a Turkish government official said today.
A second senior Turkish official said Bakraoui's initial deportation in July was based on police suspicion that he was a foreign militant fighter, but no crime was committed in Turkey, describing his expulsion as an "administrative deportation".
