ISIS
flag & bomb found during house raid in Brussels - prosecutors
An
Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) flag and a bomb were found at a house in
a Brussels district during a search conducted by Belgian police in connection
with Tuesday morning blasts, prosecutors said.
The
explosive device found at a house in the Schaerbeek municipality contained
nails, Belgian prosecutors said. Some chemicals were also found during the
search.
Raids
are being conducted all across the country in the wake of this morning’s terror
attacks, Belgian federal prosecutor Frederic Van Leeuw announced at a press
conference. The official added that a possible connection between the Brussels
blasts and the Paris attacks is still being investigated.
Three
male suspects were captured by CCTV at Brussels Airport before the deadly
blasts, the prosecutor said. An image showing the three men has been released.
Two of
them, who can be seen wearing black jumpers and what looks like black gloves,
possibly hid a trigger for a bomb and “seem to have committed suicide attacks,”
according to the prosecutor, while the third man, who was wearing a
light-colored jacket and a hat, “is
actively being sought.”
Police
have released a wanted notice for this suspect, with Reuters reporting a
government official as saying that the man was seen running away from the
airport building.
More
explosive devices were found at the airport in the evening, the Belga news
agency reported, citing a police source.

According
to another law enforcement source, a suspicious object was neutralized by bomb
technicians at the airport, which is still cordoned off.
Belgian
authorities confirmed earlier in the day that a third unexploded device had
been found at the airport, saying that it was destroyed by security services.
Twin
blasts went off in a busy departure hall at the Brussels airport on Tuesday
morning at around 8 am local time, claiming the lives of at least 14 people.
Another attack in the Belgian capital targeted Brussels’ Metro, killing at least
20 people at the Maalbeek station, which is located close to EU institutions in
Brussels.
Around
230 people were injured in the attacks, the Belgian Interior Ministry’s Crisis
Center has reported, while stressing that those figures are not final.
Three
days of national mourning have been announced in Belgium.
IS has
claimed responsibility for the Brussels attacks, according to the AMAQ agency,
which is affiliated with the militant group.

The
Tuesday blasts came just days after Salah Abdeslam, the prime surviving suspect
from the Paris massacre in November, was arrested in the Belgian capital. The
26-year-old Belgian-born French national was detained during a raid on March 18
and formally charged with terrorist murder. Several other people were arrested in
the raid and charged with involvement in terrorist murder, being members of a
terrorist organization, and aiding and abetting criminals.
The
suspect’s lawyer told the media that his defendant was cooperating with Belgian
justice officials. Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said that Abdeslam told
investigators that he had initially planned to blow himself up in the
IS-orchestrated Paris assault, but later “backed down.” Belgium’s minister of foreign affairs, Didier
Reynders, said Salah Abdeslam had confessed to planning a new terror attack,
and confirmed that security forces had found many weapons during his capture.
He has reportedly been placed in a high security prison in Bruges.
