A suspected bomb-maker who was thought to have eluded authorities amid the deadly terror attacks in Brussels is believed to have been one of the two suicide bombers who died in the blasts at the city's airport, NBC News has learned.

U.S. and Belgian intelligence sources said Wednesday that they are certain Najim Laachraoui died at the airport during the mayhem Tuesday morning — although initial reports indicated that law enforcement was in pursuit of the 24-year-old suspect.

Does that mean 3 jihadists died in the attack or did one of the brothers escape?

Died? Shouldn’t they say: Killed? They make it sound like he fell asleep and quietly passed away.

I am wondering the same thing— is the guy on the right who was not wearing black?

That would supposedly be Najim. Did they find remains of 3 jihadists or 2? If 2, then one of the 2 on the left ran off. Originally I read the 2 on the left killed themselves.

3 died in attack. The two brothers in black, one being the bomb-maker (the skinny brother). They are still looking for the guy in white and wearing a hat (who was with the two brothers at airport).

The other bomber who blew himself on the train, makes the third terrorist.

It’s all very confusing. I read earlier that the 2 brothers were at different scenes; 1 at the airport, the other at the metro station. 2nd guy at the airport wearing 1 black glove was confirmed dead (homicide bomber), guy with the hat got away?

Wonder if “Laachraoui” is an Arabic variant of “Khablooui”.
