Police in Belgium have issued a warrant for a suspect in Tuesday's bomb attack at the Brussels airport that left at least 11 people dead.

Authorities have released a photo of the suspect, who can be seen dressed in white and pushing a luggage trolly through the airport. Belgian federal prosecutor Frederic Van Leeuw believes two attackers detonated explosives at the airport, while the third suspect is currently being hunted down. The two men shown dressed in black "very likely committed a suicide attack," the prosecutor said.

The third man was reportedly seen running away from the explosions.

According to broadcasters RTL and RTBF, police are conducting searches in the district of Schaerbeek and Jette.

Belgian federal prosecutors also confirm that police raids are being conducted across the country.

The Belgian capital was hit by a series of explosions on Tuesday morning. Attacks on the metro killed at least an additional 20 people. At least 34 people have been kill in total with another 250 injured. The terrorist group Daesh, also known as IS/Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attacks, though authorities stressed that it's "too early to make the link between Paris and today's attacks."

"It is a common fight, it is a fight without borders," Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel said following the attacks. "We are determined to defend our freedom."
