Faycal Cheffou

CCTV footage showing the three bomber attackers at Brussels airport before the explosion was released by Belgian police.

According to the authorities the video has been released in an effort to identify the third man responsible for the deadly attack in Belgian capital’s airport, also known as “the terrorist with the hat”.

Belgian officials on March 28 raised the death toll from last week's devastating Islamic State of ?Raq and the Levant (ISIL) suicide attacks on Brussels airport and the metro to 35.  

Belgian authorities have identified the third airport attacker as Faycal Cheffou, who was working as a freelance reporter and appeared in Belgium newscasts.

Cheffou was known about his extremist opinions and his propaganda in favour of Islamic State.

A Brussels attacks suspect believed to be the third airport bomber who was on a run has been arrested and charged with “terrorist murders”.

The Belgian federal prosecutor announced a warrant for Fayçal Cheffou, who is the man pictured in CCTV footage alongside suicide bombers Najim Laachraoui and Brahim el-Bakraoui in the departures terminal on Tuesday morning.
