Brussels attacks: Two suspects identified, manhunt under way for third man

Belgian media on Wednesday identified two suspects in the Brussels airport attack and said police are “actively searching” for a third. At least one of those identified is believed to have links to Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam.

Investigators released a CCTV image of three men at the airport pushing trolleys hours after Tuesday’s attacks. Two of the men are believed to have detonated explosives in their luggage. Belgian officials believe the third man’s explosives did not go off and he is on the run.

The two suicide bombers were identified as Khalid and Brahim El-Bakraoui, Belgian state broadcaster RTBF reported Wednesday, quoting unnamed police sources. The men are brothers and have criminal records but have not been linked to terrorism until now.

The third man was seen in CCTV footage wearing a light overcoat and a hat. Belgian officials say he may have escaped after his explosive device failed to detonate.
