One
of the Brussels bombers was arrested and deported last June from Turkey
which warned Belgium he was a militant, the Turkish president
sensationally revealed this afternoon.
The
announcement by Recep Tayyip Erdogan comes after it emerged one of the
Brussels bombers left a suicide note telling how he was desperate to
blow himself up because he did not want to go to prison like his friend,
Paris bomber Salah Abdeslam.
Ibrahim
El Bakraoui, who helped kill 14 people when he set off his suicide vest
at Brussels airport yesterday, left the will in the bin of the terror
cell's Schaerbeek safehouse.
The
typed note, found next to 15kg of homemade explosives, an AK-47 and an
ISIS flag, said: 'I don't know what to do. I'm in a hurry. I'm on the
run. People are looking for me everywhere. And if I give myself up then
I'll end up in a cell.'
Meanwhile,
Brussels master bombmaker Najim Laachraoui - known as the 'Man in
White' - is still on the run today after evading a series of special
forces raids following the deadly attacks which killed 34 yesterday.
Belgium's
chief prosecutor this afternoon confirmed is 'still at large'
after Belgian media reported the explosives expert was taken alive by a
SWAT team inside a pizzeria in the Anderlecht suburb of the city.
The
latest twist came after Belgian brothers Ibrahim and Khalid El Bakraoui
were named as two of the ISIS suicide bombers - eight days after they
escaped police in a gunfight - and it is now clear there is a mystery
fourth suicide bomber.
Laachraoui
is suspected of rigging up the suicide vests that helped kill 34 in
twin attacks yesterday - and is believed to have done the same for the
Paris terrorists who murdered 130 in November.
He
went on the run after leaving a suitcase packed with explosives and
calmly walked from the terminal moments before the airport massacre at
8am Tuesday. Today federal prosecutor Frederic Van Leeuw said it was the
largest of all the bombs but it failed to go off.

New raid: Special forces stormed a
pizzeria in Anderlecht at just after dawn this morning - with some
Belgian media wrongly claiming Najim Laachraoui was inside. Forensics
officers took away evidence in brown bags after a man and two women were
taken into custody
