A fifth suspect has been named
The Belgian authorities have identified a new suspect linked to the Brussels attacks, called Naim el Hamed.
The 28-year-old Syrian has been described as "very dangerous and likely to be armed."
The Syrian is on a list of suspects circulated to security services in other European countries.
The suspect may have played a part in the massacre of 31 people
The Syrian man is also likely to have been involved in the Paris attacks.
His name was listed alongside the four other suspects: Mohamed Abrini, Najim Laachraoui and brothers Khalid and Ibrahim El Bakraoui, according to the reports.
According to Belgian media, the authorities know very little about this suspect, but his photo has been circulated as far as Spain in the hope that he can be tracked down.
