Khalid and Brahim el-Bakraoui are brothers named as two of the attackers at Brussels Airport.

Two brothershave been named by local mediaamong the bombers behind the terrorist attacks that killed more than 30people and injured 250 more in Brussels.

Belgium’s state broadcasterRTBFhas named Khalid and Brahim, also known asIbrahim, el-Bakraoui as two of thesuspected Isis militantswho blew themselves up amid crowds at Brussels Airport and on a train at Maalbeek station.

Both were originally reported to have died in the departures terminal but new Belgian reports alleged that Brahim killed himself at the airport, while Khalid was on the Metro.

An alert was put out for the pair following apolice raid in the Brussels suburb of Forest last weekwhere two men escaped as a gunmanbattled with officers before being shot dead.
