New Syrian suspect in Brussels bombing

Syrian Naim al-Hamed has been identified as a new suspect in the Belgian terror attacks, a local newspaper reports.

Investigators have identified a new suspect they believe played a role in the Brussels bombings this week, a Belgian newspaper says, naming him as 28-year-old Syrian Naim al-Hamed.

De Morgen said on Friday he was on a list circulated to the security services of other European countries after Tuesday's attacks along with Mohamed Abrini, Najim Laachraoui and Khalid El Bakraoui.

The paper said Naim al-Hamed was also suspected of involvement in the November 13 attacks in Paris which killed 130 people.
