UPDATE The man who held a failed attack last night in Brussels Central was 36-year-old Oussama Zariouh, a Moroccan national who lived in Sint-Jans-Molenbeek. That states the federal parquet.
According to the federal parquet, Oussama Zariouh entered the central station at 20.39 last night. "Through the locker room, he walked on travelers who were down the stairs", spokesman Eric Van Der Sypt said. "At first he waited a lot to go to the middle of that group at 20.44. He took his bag, started screaming and caused a partial blast. Fortunately, no one was injured." The suitcase immediately caught fire, on which Zariouh left his burning luggage and walked behind a station manager who drove down to the platform. "Meanwhile, the bag broke a second time, a heavier blast," the spokesman continues. "The bag contained nails and gas cylinders, and then the man again took the stairs to the station hall where he ran to a military while calling 'Allahu Akbar'. The soldier immediately opened the fire and hit the man several times. To the consequences of his injuries. He did not carry a belt with explosives. "
