Najim Laachraoui

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.

The mystery over one of the assailants of the March 22 Brussels attack remains, as the Netherlands said that they were not properly informed of the bomber's terror links, while Turkey and the United States claim that they had previously notified relevant authorities. 

Belgium's interior and justice ministers offered their resignations over the Brussels attacks but they were rejected by Prime Minister Charles Michel, Belgian media said on March 24.

Turkey deported one of the Brussels attackers and alerted the Belgian authorities about him last year, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said.

However, Belgium had found no links with terorism of the deportee and released him, Erdogan said at a joint news conference with Romanian President Klaus Iohannis in Ankara, Turkish news daily Sabah reported on Wednesday.

Belgian media backtracked after initial reports that Najim Laachraoui, the main surviving suspect sought by police in relation to the deadly attacks in Brussels on Tuesday, has been detained.

Belgian prosecutor Frederic Van Leeuw announced on Wednesday afternoon the suspect was still on the run.

Belgian newspaper DH reports that the third bombing suspect who fled the airport on Monday, Najim Laachraoui, has been arrested in Anderlecht.

The man shown at the photo below standing next to the two arrested attackers and wearing a hat is Nazim Lachraoui. The Belgian authorities arrested him on

Wednesday morning at a pizza restaurant, after launching a manhunt.

The Belgian authorities confirmed that brothers Khalid and Brahim El Bakraoui are among Brussels Airport suicide bombers.

According to Belgian broadcaster RTBF, the brothers were known to police for links to organized crime.

In the meantime, authorities have released a manhunt to find the third attacker.

According to media reports, the two suicide bombers, who blew themselves at Zaventem airport on Tuesday, have been identified as brothers Khalid and Brahim el-Bakraoui.

The el-Bakraoui brothers have been well-known to police and have reportedly been sought for hiring properties as hideouts for the perpetrators of last year's attacks in Paris.

A photograph of the two suspects involved in terrorist attack at the Saventem airport in Brussels was released just before they detonated the explosives. Belgian network DH released the photo it got from the airport closed security cameras showing the two suspect terrorists seconds before they activated the bombs.

Two suspected terrorists are likely to be the focus of investigations for the deadly attacks occurred on Thursday at Brussel’s airports and metros.

Najim Laachraoui and Mohamed Abrini named by Belgian police as accomplices to November’s Paris attacks are still on the run after police raids that led to the arrest of Salah Abdeslam, the lead Paris attacker, on Friday.
