Belgium said that Mohamed Abrini, dubbed the “man in the hat” from security videos, has confessed to being the third member of the terrorist squad that struck Brussels airport on March 22.
Abrini and a man identified as Osama K., an alleged accomplice of the Brussels subway station suicide bomber, were arrested on Friday as Belgian police continued to chip away at a jihadist network operating out of safe houses in Brussels.
