The bomber killed by soldiers in a busy Brussels rail station was a 36-year-old Moroccan national, the federal prosecutor's office said Wednesday.
"The assailant has been identified as O.Z., born 20 January 1981 and of Moroccan nationality," spokesman Eric Van Der Sypt said at a press conference after Tuesday's attack.
"He was not known to the authorities for any terrorism connection," Van Der Sypt said, declining to give the man's full name while the investigation continues.
