released a description of the fleeing vehicle. the girl was rushed to children's hospital. her injuries are satisfied to be non-life threatening. new at 11:00 tonight in the brussels terror investigation. french police released this photo of the man they believe is one of the suspects who escaped. twenty-eight year old, najim laachraoui, the man seen dropping a bag of failed, boxes at the airport or second bomber at the subway. belgium officials, confirm the man on the left of this infamous pictures, one of the suicide bombers at the airport, built a suicide vest, used in the paris attacks last year. anti terror raid continue in brussels, one of them playing out in dramatic fashion in broad daylight. authorities shot a suspect as he was waiting in the trans stop with his daughter. seconds later police move in beckoning the young girl to come with them and bomb disposal robot is brought into investigate a bag he was carrying. the at that .3 men dragged the

wounded suspect a way. in an explosives expert moves into scour the tracks nearby. and tonight, investigators will only say that this was an anti terror operation, they have in the yet, identified the man they were targeting. many are wondering how do you protect against a bomber moving freely against an airport or subway station? some security officials say best line of defense is right under our noses, or in fact, under a dog's nose. it is a k-9 that prove to be a better early warning system then any manmade technology. specialized, vapor dogs can do far more than regular bomb sniffing dog. they can detect explosive particles as a suspect moves through a crowd and track it to its source. but it is just not enough dogs to go around apparently. only 130 have gotten the specialized training in the past decade. only one dog, is in europe. even though brussels is a high profile target, isis is still victimizing the people

actively planning, external attacks, presumably in the west or even in the united states. >> the removal of this isil leader will hamper the organization's ability to conduct operations both inside and outside of the iraq and syria. >> the u.s. commandos went into capture him a live. he would have had crucial intelligence but he reportedly would not give up without a fight, even when he was surrounded. well, talking temperatures tonight, cooler air is moving in but it should be a nice couple of days for the easter weekend. lets get very latest, meteorologist adam joseph at the "action news" big board tonight. >> hi there, rick. we are cooling things down for the weekend after a very spring-like day, in fact, may-like day around here. seventy-three was the high in philadelphia. seventy-two for trenton, wilmington. atlantic city airport. seventy-one poconos. lower 60's. we have had clouds and a few showers passing bias a front progressed through.
