Talk back 24 March

Evidence is emerging that Daesh militants may have launched their attack on Brussels in haste because they feared authorities were closing in on them.Police also say that same Daesh cell carried out the attacks on both Paris and Brussels.On a day of mourning across Belgium following Tuesday's bombings of the Brussels airport and subway that killed 31 people and wounded more than 270, more information about the four attackers was found.European security officials said one of the suicide bombers was Najim Laachraoui, a Moroccan-born Belgian whom police have hunted as the suspected bombmaker in the November 13 attacks on Paris by the Islamic State that killed 130 people.The other two suicide bombers were Belgian-born brothers, Ibrahim El Bakraoui, and his younger brother, Khalid, both known to the police as common criminals, not anti-Western radicals.Details of the investigation from chief prosecutor Frederic Van Leeuw pointed to a rising sense of panic among the three bombers who blew themselves up.
