Belgian police release new video footage of a third suspect whose bomb failed to go off at Brussels airport in last week’s attack.
The footage shows the man wearing a hat and white jacket pushing a trolley with a large bag through the departure hall, next to suicide bombers Ibrahim El Bakraoui and Najim Laachraoui.
“It’s a new video which had not previously been released,” says a spokesman for the federal prosecutor’s office.
A police notice issued with the video — still images from which have previously been released — says that officers “want to identify this man.”

Prosecutors are still working on the theory that the so-called “man in the hat” is Faycal Cheffou, who has been charged with terrorist offences in relation to the airport attack, according to a source close to the inquiry. Cheffou is however not cooperating with investigators, the source says.
