Brussels Airport bomb suspect Najim Laachraoui has been captured, according to Belgian media reports. The 25-year-old was arrested in the city's Anderlecht district, according to the DH newspaper's website.
He had been named in Belgian media reports as the third man filmed on CCTV at the airport, alongside two other bombers - brothers Khalid and Ibrahim El Bakraoui, both of whom killed themselves in the attacks. The circumstances of his arrest were not revealed but the federal prosecutor is preparing a press briefing for later this morning.
Laachraoui, previously known as Soufiane Kayal, is also suspected of making the bombs used in November's Paris massacres, after his DNA was allegedly found on suicide belts used in the Bataclan Theatre and the Stade de France, uk.news.yahoo.com reports
