Mohamed Abrini and Osama Kraiem have been held in connection with the Brussels terror attacks which killed 32 people - but what do we know about them?
Abrini
:: A 31-year-old Belgian of Moroccan origin, he is wanted over November's attacks in Paris.

The two were also seen on CCTV at a petrol station in a car that was used in the killings. Abdeslam, a prime suspect in the attacks, was arrested on 18 March.
:: According to Belgian media, Abrini is "more than likely" to have also been involved in the Brussels bombings.
There is speculation he is the "man in the hat" pictured at the airport with suicide bombers Ibrahim El Bakraoui and Najim Laachraoui - but authorities are still try to confirm this.

:: Prosecutors say he was filmed on CCTV at a shopping centre buying the bags that were used in the Brussels airport blasts.
:: Authorities are checking if he had a role in the attack on Maalbeek metro station and whether he was the man captured on CCTV with bomber Khalid El Bakraoui before he blew himself up.
