Belgian police have released pictures of three suspects thought to be
involved in a wave of attacks in Brussels, and are actively
seeking one of them.
The suspects were caught on security cameras at Zaventem
Airport, where 14 people were killed in a bombing and apparent suicide attack
Tuesday — one of two Brussels-area attacks that left a combined 34 people dead
in and around the Belgium city.
The three unidentified men in the photo are pushing
baggage carts with suitcases past the airport’s check-in area. Two of the men
are wearing black clothing and black gloves on their left hands. The other man
is wearing light clothing and a dark hat.
Three terror
suspects are seen at Belgium’s Zaventem Airport in an image released Tuesday by
Belgian police. Belgian police
posted a zoomed-in photo of the man in the hat on Facebook and asked the public
for help identifying him.
“Police are attempting
to identify this man,” the Facebook post reads. He is suspected of having
committed the attack at the Zaventem airport on March 22, 2016. If you
recognize this man or if you have information related to this attack, please
contact the police.
At least 81 people have been injured at the airport, Belgium’s health
minister Maggie De Block said. Another 20 people were killed and 106 were
injured in blasts an hour later at Brussels’ Maelbeek metro station.
The militant group that calls itself the Islamic State
claimed responsibility for the attacks through its Amaq News Agency, the security analyst group SITE reported.
UPDATE: 2:10 p.m. — The Belgian news outlet RTBF Info is reporting that the other two
suspects in the image above are dead. Michael Horowitz, a prominent
geopolitical and security analyst for the security company Levantine Group,
tweeted that the two black-clad suspects were likely suicide bombers and may
have used their gloves to hide the detonators.
