Brussels Embassy

Revelations from Turkey that it had informed Belgium that at least one of the bombers in the March 22 Brussels attack was a jihadist fighter have rocked the Western European country after authorities failed to prevent the deadly assault.

A Belgian minister has said they were aware one of the Brussels bombers was deported from Turkey to the Netherlands last year, one day after Turkey's president made the news of the attacker's deportation public. 

Turkey formerly informed Belgium authorities about the terrorist links of one of the attackers in the March 22 Brussels bombings, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an said March 23.
