So much for him just being a bystander.

A man held on terrorism charges in Belgium has admitted to being the “man in a hat” seen on security camera footage at Brussels airport alongside two suicide bombers after attacks in the city killed 32 people, public prosecutors said on Saturday.
Prosecutors said that after being confronted with footage prepared by an investigational unit, Belgian Mohamed Abrini said he was the man police had been hunting since the bombings at the airport and on the metro on March 22.
“He had no other choice,” a spokesman for Belgium’s public prosecutors said. He had been held since Friday evening.
Abrini had been on Europe’s most wanted list since December, after he was caught by a security camera at a motorway service station with suspected militant Salah Abdeslam while they drove to Paris two days before the attacks there that killed 130 people in November.
