One of the Brussels bombers was arrested and deported last June from Turkey which warned Belgium he was a militant, the Turkish president sensationally revealed this afternoon.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Ibrahim El Bakraoui was detained in Gaziantep in southern Turkey close to the Syrian border last summer.

He said the Belgian authorities had failed to confirm the suspect’s links to terrorism ‘despite our warnings that he was a foreign fighter’ following his deportation.

Ibrahim helped kill 14 people when he set off his suicide vest at Brussels airport yesterday.

The revelation comes after it emerged he left a suicide note telling how he was desperate to blow himself up because he did not want to go to prison like his friend, the Paris logistics chief Salah Abdeslam.

The typed note, found next to 15kg of homemade explosives, an AK-47 and an ISIS flag, said: ‘I don’t know what to do. I’m in a hurry. I’m on the run. People are looking for me everywhere. And if I give myself up then I’ll end up in a cell.’

Meanwhile, Brussels master bombmaker Najim Laachraoui - known as the ‘Man in White’ - is still on the run today after evading a series of special forces raids following the deadly attacks which killed 34 yesterday.

Belgium’s chief prosecutor this afternoon confirmed is ‘still at large’ after Belgian media reported the explosives expert was taken alive by a SWAT team inside a pizzeria in the Anderlecht suburb of the city.

The latest twist came after Belgian brothers Ibrahim and Khalid El Bakraoui were named as two of the ISIS suicide bombers - eight days after they escaped police in a gunfight - and it is now clear there is a mystery fourth suicide bomber.

In the past week, as police closed in, some members including Salah Abdeslam were either arrested or killed before the team of four bombers launched twin attacks yesterday, killing 34. Now the manhunt for the Man in White Najim Laachraoui continues
