벨기에 브뤼셀 연쇄테러: 용의자는 형제
Authorities in Belgium have revealed that the suicide bombers in the horrific terror attacks in Brussels were from the same immediate family.
Another suspect caught on surveillance camera is thought to be still at large.
Kim Mok-yeon reports.
It has been found that two of the suicide bombers who carried out the latest bombings at Brussels airport and the city metro were brothers.
The federal prosecutor said Brahim el-Bakraoui was part of the attack at Zaventem airport, while his brother Khalid struck at the Maelbeek metro. Together, the attacks killed 31 people.
"The suicide bomber has been identified by his fingerprints. It was Khalid El Bakraoui, the brother of Ibrahim, and born in Brussels on January 12, 1989 and of Belgian nationality. "
The brothers were known to have had connections to Salah Abdeslam, who helped carry out the bloody siege in Paris last November and who was captured last week by Belgian authorities.
Earlier Wednesday, there were reports that another man suspected of being the bomb-maker behind the attacks had been arrested, but the reports were later retracted.
The attacks put many countries on high alert, and the South Korean government has beefed up security measures at the country's main gateway, Incheon International Airport.
The measures strengthened airport surveillance and mobilized around 700 security officers, including bomb disposal and special counter-terrorism units.

"We tightened up airport security by deploying additional resources, including the Explosive Ordnance Disposal team and special guards, after the Belgium attacks. In particular, we strengthened landside security inspection."
Since the November terrorist attacks in Paris, Incheon Airport has maintained its security level at the third highest out of five levels.
Seoul's foreign ministry said as of Wednesday, no Korean citizens were injured in the attacks Brussels.
