In a stunning new twist, the president of Turkey has revealed that his country last year arrested one of the ISIS suicide bombers that hit Brussels this week.

Ibrahim El Bakroui, who—along with his brother Khalid—blew himself up in Belgium’s capital, was detained by officials in Turkey, the country’s president Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.

Erdogan said Belgian authorities failed to confirm the suspect's links to the terror group ISIS.
