A key suspect in Tuesday`s Brussels bombings, Najim Laachraoui, has been arrested in the city`s Anderlecht district, Belgian newspaper DH reported on its website.
Laachraoui is thought to be the man authorities were looking for in connection with the two bomb blasts at Brussels Airport, according to the newspaper.

Police have been hunting Laachraoui after he was seen in CCTV footage with two suspected suicide bombers at the airport.

The two other men thought to have died in the blasts at the airport are being named as the El-Bakraoui brothers.
