  (CNN) Five terrorists -- three dead, two whose fates are unknown. So far, that's how many people that authorities say played a part in Tuesday's terror attacks in Brussels , Belgium, that killed 31 people and injured 330. Two were allegedly involved in bombing a train near the Maelbeek metro station. Of them, one has been identified as Khalid El Bakraoui, who died in that suicide attack.
