{mosads}Brussels metro bomber Khalid El-Bakraoui is thought to be dead.
Investigators are now looking for a second suspect involved in the metro bombing who was seen on surveillance camera footage on the subway platform.
The Brussels attacks killed more than 30 people and injured more than 200 after bombs detonated at the city’s airport and a subway stop. The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) took credit for the attacks.
The string of attacks across Paris last year left 130 people dead. ISIS also claimed responsibility for those attacks.
