Arrested terror suspect Mohamed Abrini has admitted being the “man in the hat” wanted in connection with the bombing last month at the Brussels Airport, Belgian prosecutors said Saturday.
The Federal Prosecutor’s Office in Brussels said the confession confirmed Abrini was the third man present at Brussels Airport during the March 22 suicide bombings there.
Authorities have been frantically seeking the “man in the hat” ever since he was captured on video alongside the two bombers just before the airport attack that killed 16 people.
Belgian authorities recently released more footage of the man leaving the airport in the wake of the bombings, walking down sidewalks and past a hotel.
Abrini was arrested Friday in Brussels in a police raid. The prosecutor’s office said Saturday that Abrini “confessed his presence at the crime scene” after being confronted by investigators.
