A government official told Reuters that the suspect “had been seen running away from the airport building.”
Police operations are still underway in several parts of the city, which remains on high alert following Tuesday’s twin bombings at the airport and attack on a subway station near the headquarters of the European Union. The attacks left at least 30 dead and hundreds wounded.
The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attacks. Reuters reports that Belgian law enforcement “found a bomb and an Islamic State flag during a house search in the Brussels district of Schaebeek” in the aftermath of the attacks.
