A man suspected to be involved in Paris attacks has admitted to investigators his presence at Brussels airport, according to a report. 
The suspect Mohamed Abrini confessed to being "the man in the hat" caught on video with suicide bombers at Brussels airport last month. 
"This is an important step forward," a source close to the investigation told news agency AFP. 
Abrini made the admission on the day he was charged with terrorist murders over the November attacks in Paris that left 130 people dead, prosecutors said. 
Terror suspect Osama Krayem, a Swedish national, received the same charges over his role in a suicide bombing at a Brussels metro station on March 22, which occurred an hour after the airport blasts. A total of 32 people died in the coordinated attacks. 
The latest arrests strengthened the theory that the same cell carried out both France and Belgium's worst ever terror outrages, claimed by the ISIS group. 
The pair were among six arrested in raids across Brussels on Friday. Two were later released but two others were charged with complicity for allegedly helping Abrini and Krayem, the AFP report said.
