BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The Moroccan suspected of trying to explode a bomb in Brussels Central Station on Tuesday was a normal man who had plans to marry and become a taxi driver, his family told Belgian public broadcaster VRT.
Belgian prosecutors say Oussama Zariouh brought a bomb to the station and, after it failed to explode, was shot dead by a soldier as he ran towards a military patrol shouting "Allahu akbar" - God is greatest in Arabic. They say there were indications that he supported Islamic State. [L8N1JI0EN]
