Brussels attack: Police releases CCTV image of suspected attackers

Brussels, Mar 23: Hours after Brussels Zaventem airport was struck by two explosions and one explosion ripped through the Maelbeek Metro station here, the Belgian Police released a CCTV image showing the alleged attackers of the deadly attack.

In the grainy CCTV image, three men are seen pushing luggage trolleys at the airport. Police officials have issued a notice against the man wearing a hat in the picture.

The other two suspected attackers are said to have blown themselves up at the airport that killed 20 people and injured many, whereas the man with the hat reportedly fled the airport terminal.

Meanwhile, Zaventem mayor Francis Vermeiren said that the attackers who struck the airport had the explosives in their luggage bag.

"They put their suitcases on trolleys, the first two bombs exploded. The third also put his on a trolley but he must have panicked, it didn't explode," he added.

Terror group Islamic State later claimed responsibility for the deadly attack.

Belgium was on high alert after the Paris attacks last year and after the suspected Paris attacker Salah Abdeslam was arrested in Belgium last week.
