- 8 years ago
Belgian authorities announced Saturday that they had charged a man in connection with Tuesday's terrorist attacks, saying they believe he participated in the plot and may be "the man in white" captured in an airport surveillance video alongside the two bombers.
The man, identified by a European official as Fayçal Cheffou, appeared before a judge after he was detained Thursday night while sitting in a car in front of the Belgian prosecutor’s office.
Belgian security officials have been seeking a man captured in an airport surveillance video Tuesday, minutes before dual suicide blasts hit.
The images show three men walking together, but only two are believed to have died in the blasts.
The third, wearing a white jacket and a black hat -- was thought to be at-large after depositing an explosives-laden suitcase in the departures terminal.
The two bombers wore black, along with black gloves on their left hands that authorities believe concealed the detonators.
