Belgian Officials Release New Video Of Brussels Attack Suspect
BRUSSELS (CBSNewYork/AP) -- Belgian prosecutors have launched a public appeal for any information on the "man in hat" suspect in the Brussels Airport suicide bombings that killed 16 people.
Belgian Federal Prosecutor Eric Van der Sypt said Thursday that authorities were especially appealing to people who might have filmed or photographed the man. He was seen with two suicide bombers who died in the March 22 attacks.

A subsequent explosion at Brussels' Maelbeek subway station killed another 16 people the same day.
Photos and released by the prosecutors showed him leaving the airport on foot, walking to the nearby town of Zaventem and then into Brussels, where all traces of him were reportedly lost.
The suspect also wore a white jacket but discarded it at some point, prosecutors said.
Police had previously released video of the suspect walking with the two suicide bombers in the March attacks, CBS2 reported. The Islamic State group, or ISIS, claimed responsibility for attacks in the three bombings that killed 34 people total and injured 214 others.
