Authorities arrested a man named Muhammad Abrini, the man wearing a hat in the video footage from the Brussels attack. Abrini is the prime suspect of the Paris attacks and was recently confirmed to be the escort of the two suicide bombers in Belgium.
According to the Federal Prosecutor's Office in Brussels, when confronted with the startling evidence, the Belgian-Moroccan from Molenbeek confessed that he was at the attacked airport on March 22. Authorities believe they have finally caught the final missing suspect behind the bombings.

Abrini was linked to the crime by DNA evidence and identified through surveillance camera footage from the airport where he appeared wearing a hat. He is believed to have fled immediately after the suicide bombers blew themselves.
Authorities have since confirmed the identities of the two suicide bombers who were brothers. While Ibrahim Al Berkaoui blew himself inside the airport, his brother Khaled El Barkaoui was responsible for the blast in the metro station. According to CNN, both were wanted by Interpol in connection to terrorist acts.
The list of accused also includes Najim Lakhraoui of Moroccan origin who blew himself at Brussels airport, and Mohamed Belkaid who commanded an ISIS cell in Belgium. Belkaid was killed in a raid that led to the terror mastermind Abdel Salaam's arrest. Osama Krayem, however, has survived and is under arrest on suspicion of being the second subway bomber.
With these arrests, the Interpol was able to link the terror network operating in Europe to at least two of the recent attacks in Brussels and Paris.
