Two more charged over Brussels attacks


Two more men were charged Tuesday with offenses related to the Brussels bombings.

Belgium's Federal Prosecutor’s office said the suspects, identified only as Smail F. and Ibrahim F., were involved in renting an apartment in an area of Brussels that served as a hideout for the bomber who attacked the Brussels subway as well as a suspected accomplice.

Sixteen victims died in the March 22 attack, the same day a pair of suicide bombers also killed 16 victims at Brussels airport.

The statement said no further information would be released, and that the investigation “is continuing actively day and night.”

At least six people were previously charged in connection with the attacks, including Mohamed Abrini, the suspect widely known as the "man in the hat."
