Brussels terrorists initially planned to attack in France, prosecutor says

(CNN) Terrorists who attacked the Belgian capital last month initially planned to strike again in France, but changed their minds as investigators closed in, authorities said Sunday.

"Eventually ... they urgently took the decision to strike in Brussels," the prosecutor said. Salah Abdeslam, a key suspect in the Paris attacks, was arrested by police in Brussels on March 18. Just four days later, suicide bombers struck at t...

'Man in the hat': Brussels airport suspect in custody     (CNN) The third suspect in the Brussels Airport attack -- the "man in the hat" -- has been positively identified as Mohamed Abrini, according to the Belgian federal prosecutor's office.
