Earlier, senior intelligence sources have told the news website Politco that they believe the following men are, from left to right: Khalid and Brahim el-Bakraoui, Najim Laachraoui.
Several Belgian newspapers including HLM have already reported that Laachraoui, wearing a hat in this image, is believed to be the bombmaker. He did not detonate his bomb at the airport, fled the scene and is still at large.
Bomb disposal experts later neutralised his device using a controlled explosion, according to Belgian investigators.
Europe remains on high alert after yesterday's terror attacks.
ISIS claimed responsibility for co-ordinated terrorist attacks on Brussels which saw suicide bombers strike at Brussels' Zaventem airport, with passengers seen fleeing for their lives shortly afterwards.
An hour later an explosion was heard at the Belgian capital's Maelbeek metro stationin a separate terror attack. 34 people are reported to have died, and at least 198 are injured.
The airport suicide bombers have been named as brothers Khalid and Ibrahim El-Bakraoui. The third man, seen next to the brothers in CCTV footage, is allegedly the Paris bomb maker Najim Laachraoui and was arrested just before 10am this morning.
Adelma Tapia Ruiz, a mother of twins living in Brussels, has been named as the first victim from yesterday's terror attacks.
At 11am a minute’s silence was held across Belgium as a tribute to the lives lost yesterday.
The silence is being held at midday Belgian time.
