The Brussels attacker deported by Turkish authorities in 2015 was one of two suicide bombers who blew themselves up at the Belgian capital's airport, a Turkish official said today.
"It was Ibrahim El Bakraoui," said the senior official, asking not to be named, after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced Turkey had last year, close to the Syrian border, detained and then deported one of the Brussels attackers.
