Brussels: Two brothers behind attacks
Brussels, Mar 23 (IBNS): The police on Wednesday identified two of the attackers who were believed to be responsible for the Brussels massacre on Tuesday, media reports said.
The two attackers have been identified as brothers-Khalid and Brahim el-Bakraoui.
A BBC report said that the pair were known to police.
"It is believed at least one was among three suspects seen in a CCTV image at Zaventem airport," the BBC report said.
The city of Brussels was on Tuesday hit by three blasts, targeting the airport and a metro station, that left over 30 people killed and several others injured.
Twin blasts had hit Zaventem airport which killed at least 11 people and injured 81 others, reports said.
The third blast had occurred at Maelbeek metro station later which left at least 20 dead.
Earlier on Tuesday night, the Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack in Brussels.
The incident occurred just days after Salah Abdeslam, who is the main suspect in the Paris attacks, was captured from Brussels.
