The sources said
that Khalid El Bakraoui and Brahim El Bakraoui were both on U.S.
government counterterrorism watch lists before the March 18
arrest of Salah Abdeslam, a French national whom prosecutors
accuse of a key role in the Nov. 13 Paris attacks.
Belgian prosecutors have identified Brahim El Bakraoui as one of
two suicide bombers who attacked Brussels’ Zaventem Airport,
while they say Khalid El Bakraoui was the man who carried out a
suicide bombing at Brussels' Maelbeek Metro station, near
European Union headquarters.
