Four attackers carried out Brussels blast; two identified as brothers, one on the run
Brussels
Belgian prosecutors said on Wednesday that two brothers carried out suicide attacks at Brussels airport and on a metro train, with one of them leaving a desperate will in a trash can saying that he did not know what to do any more.
Ibrahim El Bakraoui blew himself up in the check-in hall of Zaventem airport while Khalid El Bakraoui was responsible for the suicide attack at a metro train at Maalbeek station near the EU headquarters, federal prosecutor Frederic van Leeuw told a news conference. An unidentified suicide bomber and a man was filmed with Ibrahim. That man fled the scene without detonating his device and remains on the run, prosecutors said.
