Belgian media identified two suicide bombers involved in Tuesday's terrorist attacks in Brussels as police reportedly arrested a third suspect.

According to Belgian state broadcaster RTBF, police said Khalid and Brahim El Bakraoui blew themselves up in the deadly attacks. Belgian media also reported that a third man, suspected bomb-maker Najim Laachraoui, was in police custody, but some outlets withdrew news of the arrest. Belgium's federal prosecutor later said Laachraoui is still at large.
