Third bomb at Brussels airport 'failed to explode'

March 22, 2016 22:23

A regional governor has said that the third bomb found in the airport, which has now been destroyed, malfunctioned."Three bombs were brought into the building, of which one failed to explode," Lodewijk De Witte, the governor of Flemish Brabant province, told a press conference at the airport, adding that it was later destroyed in a controlled explosion.

Meanwhile, Belgian authorities have published surveillance camera images of three suspects in the bomb attack on Brussels airport on Tuesday. The grainy picture, which Belga said was released by Belgian police at the request of the federal prosecutor, shows three men pushing trollies with suitcases past the check-in area. Two have dark hair and one is wearing a hat.

The photo shows that the two men are each wearing just one glove. Sources said these might have been used to hide trigger devices. Police are understood to be hunting the man in the hat.
