Brussels attacks: One of the bombers worked in EU Parliament

One of the men who carried out the devastating bomb attacks in Brussels once worked as a cleaner at the European Parliament, officials say. He had month-long summer jobs there in 2009 and 2010, the EU Parliament said, without revealing his identity.

Sources, however, say he is Najim Laachraoui, one of the airport bombers.

Laachraoui, already a major suspect on the run after the Paris attacks in November, was named as one of the two bombers who targeted Zaventem airport.

The EU Parliament said the cleaning firm had provided proof that the person hired had no criminal record at the time.
