The Federal Prosecution Office in Brussels confirmed April 9 that
arrested terror suspect Mohamed Abrini was the third man present at
Brussels Airport during the March 22 terror bombing there.
Abrini, who was arrested in a police raid April 8 in Brussels,
“confessed his presence at the crime scene” after being interrogated by
investigators, according to the Prosecution Office.
Belgian authorities had been seeking the “man in the hat” who was shown
alongside the two suicide bombers in a surveillance video just prior to
the attack at the airport that killed 16 people. Officials also had
recently released additional footage of the man walking down sidewalks
and in front of a hotel, seeking information on his whereabouts.
In addition to Abrini, four others were arrested and charged with
participating in “terrorist murders” and the “activities of a terrorist
group” in connection to the attacks at the airport and a Brussels subway
station. The combined terror attacks killed 32 people and wounded 270
others. Two other suspects arrested earlier in the week were released
“after thorough interrogation,” the Prosecution Office said. Another
suspect was arrested earlier in the day.
