Belgian authorities have released the only living person they had directly linked to the March 22 terrorist attacks on an airport and subway station in Brussels that killed at least 35 people and injured scores more.

The man identified by police as Faycal C was freed after the clues that lead to his arrest "were not substantiated by the ongoing inquiry," the Belgian federal prosecutor said in a statement cited by the BBC.
