Brussels bombing suspect let go as new 'man in hat' CCTV footage released

Belgian police have released a man that they had initially charged with "participation in a terrorist group" and "terrorist killings" in connection with the Brussels attacks on the same day that they revealed new CCTV footage of another suspect.

Faycal C, who was the only person charged in connection with last week's attacks, was released due to "lack of evidence", prosecutors said.

It comes as US Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump warned Britain and Europe are "not safe" following the recent terror attacks.

Britain and Europe are "not safe" following recent terror attacks, US Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump has said.

Mr Trump said Europe has a lot of "very, very severe" problems.

He also said he did not think America was a safe place for Americans.

Mr Trump's comments to ABC came five days after the Brussels airport blasts and Metro bomb which killed at least 31 people.

He said: "I don't think Bruss - England or I don't think that Europe is a safe place. No, I don't. I think there are a lot of problems in Europe that are very, very severe.

"When you look at Brussels, when you look at the way they've handled things from law enforcement standpoints, when you look at Paris, when you look at so many other places, no, it's not (safe)".

John Kerry, the US secretary of state, echoed the comments, saying that US citizens should "avoid a crowded place" if they were travelling in Europe because "you have no control over who may be there".
