#BrusselsAttacks: Belgium issues new appeal in quest for Brussels airport suspect
Belgian prosecutors have issued a new appeal for help in finding the suspected third attacker in last month's deadly Brussels airport bombings.
New photos and video of the so-called 'man in the hat' show the suspect leaving the airport on foot after the blasts and going into central Brussels. Along the way he is seen discarding a white jacket he was wearing.
An earlier picture released showed the man in the departure hall of the Brussels airport, walking with two other men, Najim Laachraoui and Ibrahim El Bakraoui, who later blew themselves up.
EU officials revealed this week that one of the suicide bombers airport blasts worked as a janitor at the European Parliament in the summer months of 2009 and 2010. News reports said it was Laachraoui.
EU Parliament spokesman Jaume Duch Guillot did not name the individual but said that he did not have a criminal record at the time.
"As a student, he held a summer holiday job cleaning at the parliament for one month in 2009 and one in 2010," Guillot said. "As required by the contract, the cleaning firm submitted proof of the absence of a criminal record."
