Turkish president Recep Tayyip Errgogan has revealed one of the attackers in the Brussels suicide bombings had been deported from his country last year.


But he says Belgian authorities had ignored Turkey's warning that the man was a militant.

Belgium's federal prosecutor has confirmed that two brothers carried out suicide attacks, one at Brussels Airport and another on a metro train.

Another attacker who died at the airport has not yet been identified, and Belgian police are still searching for a man who was also seen with them in security vision.
