Brussels Bomber Najim Laachraoui Worked at European Parliament: Source

The attacks at Brussels' main airport and on a subway train left 32 people dead and another 270 wounded

One of the suicide bombers who carried out the devastating attacks in Brussels once worked as a cleaner at the European Parliament, officials said, NBC News reported.

He had month-long summer jobs at the parliament in 2009 and 2010, parliament spokesman Jaume Duch Guillot said in a statement said, without revealing his identity. But a police source confirmed to NBC News that the individual in question was Najim Laachraoui.

"As required by the contract, the cleaning firm submitted proof of the absence of a criminal record," Guillot noted.

Laachraoui blew himself up at the Brussels airport, and is also suspected of making the bombs for the Paris terror attacks of November 2015.
