The UN’s special envoy to Syria, Staffan De Mistura, says the Brussels attacks prove the need to reach a peace agreement in Syria.
“The message we are drawing out of it (is that) we need to extinguish the fire of war in Syria,” de Mistura says, according to Reuters. “We need to find a political solution, we need a political transition in Syria to make sure we can all concentrate on what is the real danger for everyone in Europe, in the world and Syria.”
Brussels police officials say a house search in the neighborhood of Schaerbeek has “led to the discovery of an explosive device containing among other things nails.”
Investigators also found chemical products and an Islamic State flag.
Police also confirm that they are searching for a third suspect involved in the airport blast, seen in a tan jacket, dark glasses and a hat.

Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
