Brussels attacks: Europe’s ‘most wanted man’ dies in bombing

The suspected bomb maker in the Paris attacks in November was one of two suicide bombers who targeted the Brussels airport, officials said last night.

The revelation that Najim Laachraoui was among the bombers who died came as Belgians began three days of mourning for the victims of the Brussels airport and metro bombings.

The country remained on high alert as authorities hunted for one of the suspected attackers seen on surveillance video with Laachraoui — who was thought to have escaped after the Brussel attacks — and one other suicide bomber.
