BRZEZINSKI: "We’ll begin with the breaking news overnight. Developments in Brussels where police have identified three of the suspects involved in yesterday’s terror attacks, shown here in security video at the Brussels airport Wheeling luggage carts. NBC news has confirmed the two bombers in black were brothers identified as Khalid and Ibrahim el bakraroui. They are believed to have died when the bombs exploded. The brothers were known to police and had suspected links to the terrorist network responsible for the Paris terror attacks last November. Authorities believe the other man in the picture identified by police as 24-year-old ja jet stream laachraoui fled the scene. He is now being hunted by police. Laachraoui is also suspected of involvement in the Paris terror attacks and well. And believed to be traveling with accused Paris attacker Salah Abdeslam before his arrest last Friday. Laachraoui’s DNA was discovered at an address in Brussels raided by police last week. Police say he appeared to have been traveling with Abdeslam on a fake Belgian identity card. ISIS claimed responsibility for the bombings at both the airport and subway yesterday that left at least 31 people dead and another 260 wounded and U.S. Counterterrorism officials said that claim appeared genuine. In the hours after the attack, investigators carried out raids across the country and counterterrorism sources described one site uncovered in the searches as a bomb-making factory. The Belgian prosecutor’s office also said one revealed an improvised explosive device containing nails and chemicals as well as an ISIS flag. There is reinforced security threat but Belgian media reports life will get back to Normal quickly with schools reopening. Let’s go live to Brussels with Chris Jansing. Chris?"
