Brussels: Man Initially IDed as Third Airport Bomber Released

HeadlineMar 29, 2016

In Belgium, a man charged with terrorism and identified by Belgian media as the “third bomber” in the deadly Brussels Airport bombings last week has been released. Faysal Cheffou, described as a citizen journalist, was picked out of a photographic lineup by a cab driver who said he drove the three bombers to the airport; two of them blew themselves up, the third escaped. Authorities released Cheffou Monday, saying they lacked evidence against him. They have now released surveillance video of the third bombing suspect at the airport, seeking help identifying him.
