attacks. security officials had warned of a possible follow-up strike to the paris killings four months ago. the bombings in brussels now confirm those fears dominic, we're hearing that identified that suspect that they're hunting for. also the other two men caught on that cctv footage, what do we know about them? >> reporter: local media are reporting that they're a pair of brothers as being in local media reports that the suicide bombers involved in yesterday's events. those two brothers were named by local media last week in reference to a different element of the attacks that have been happening in brussels in recent weeks, in recent months. clearly that is, obviously, a line that the intels service $here will be looking to explore as far as possible as quickly as

possible to try to see if that suggestion is correct. where it may lead them, if there are accomplices, people who were friendly with, related to those broeshgs who might be able to-- brothers, who might be able to shed more light on the investigations how is that investigation going on? they're looking for that third suspect believed to be on the run. >> reporter: that's right. they are looking for that third suspect. the person who was seen on the cctv wearing the hat, the glasses, the blue shirt. i have some of the newspapers today. from the french saying war in brussels and it shows the image of the third suspect saying, the other two suicide bombers, and that clearly gives you a sense of the importance that is being placed on the search for this

bombers chose to target brussels. jacky rowland reports >> reporter: it's the end of a traumatic day. people take a moment to honor those who died and to think of those who even now are fighting for their lives. there are so many questions. how could this happen and why did the attackers choose brussels. >> being a sit that is close to me that i love. i can't i'm not from europe, but i've been living here for quite a while. it came as a shock and it was hard. today has been emotionally exhausting >> it is really a place where you go every day to go to work. it's really a thing that you don't even think that something could happen there. >> reporter: to begin answering those questions, you have to go back to last november. police quickly established a brussels connection to the paris attacks and raided homes in the molembeek district. they were looking for members of
