A photograph of the two suspects involved in terrorist attack at the Saventem airport in Brussels was released just before they detonated the explosives. Belgian network DH released the photo it got from the airport closed security cameras showing the two suspect terrorists seconds before they activated the bombs. One of the bomb devices was reportedly full of nails to maximise the deadly effects, according to Belgian network ‘VRT’. The media outlet cites sources from the University Hospital of Leuven, where some of the victims were examined after the explosions. Meanwhile, some reports say that Kalashnikov machine guns were found at the departure lounge of the airport. Belgian police forces have unleashed a man hunt to detect the culprits, while the Belgian Justice department called on media to refrain from broadcasting information related to the investigations. The two main suspects are believed to be Najim Laachraoui and Mohamed Abrini, according to reports from British Telegeraph. According to Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera the so-called ‘Islamic State’/Daesh claimed responsibility for the attack.
