Najim Laachraoui confirmed as 2nd airport bomber, linked to Paris
Belgian prosecutors say Najim Laachraoui, who is believed to be one of two suicide bombers behind the Brussels attacks, is connected to the carnage in Paris last year

BRUSSELS, Belgium – Belgium’s federal prosecutor confirmed on Friday, March 25, that Najim Laachraoui was one of the two suicide bombers who struck Brussels airport this week in a series of attacks which left 31 people dead.

A statement from the prosecutor’s office also linked Laachraoui to November’s Paris carnage in which 130 people died, saying his DNA was found on a suicide vest and a piece of cloth discovered at the Bataclan, the concert hall where 90 people were killed.

Police also found his DNA on a bomb at the Stade de France. – Rappler.com
