2 Men Charged In Connection With Tuesday's Attacks In Brussels Enlarge this image toggle caption Laurie Dieffembacq/AFP/Getty Images Laurie Dieffembacq/AFP/Getty Images Two men have been charged with crimes related to terrorism in connection with Tuesday's attacks on Brussels. Enlarge this image toggle caption Belgian Federal Police via AP Belgian Federal Police via AP The nation's interior minister appealed to the public on Sunday asking for them not to rally, the Associated Press says, saying "we understand fully the emotions" but that police were stretched too thin as they worked to trace the terrorist network behind the attacks. Some Belgian media outlets have speculated that he is the recently-detained man identified as "Faisal C." There are also reports in French and Belgian media that police suspect a second attacker may have been working with Khalid El Bakraoui in the attack on the metro station. Authorities also initially said they had no knowledge of any ties between the Bakraoui brothers and terrorism, but have since admitted that the two brothers were on a terrorism watchlist in the U.S. Then Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that Turkey deported Ibrahim El Bakraoui to the Netherlands in 2015, and told Belgian authorities he had ties to terrorism — but that Bakraoui was released anyway.
