A Brussels airport bomber left a note before the attacks where he said he felt increasingly unsafe and feared ending up in prison, say authorities.
Ibrahim El Bakraoui was one of two men in dark tops who blew themselves up in the departure hall on Tuesday morning.
His thoughts were found on a computer which was dumped in a rubbish bin on a street near the militants' hideout.
In the note - revealed by prosecutors - El Bakraoui described himself as "always on the run, not knowing what to do anymore, being hunted everywhere, not being safe any longer".
And he added that "if he hangs around, he risks ending up next to the person in a cell" - a reference to suspected Paris bomber Salah Abdeslam, who was arrested in Brussels last week.

At the property, security forces found a nail bomb, an Islamic State flag, 15kg of the same kind of explosives used in the Paris attacks and bomb-making chemicals.
An unused explosive device was also discovered at the airport.

Investigators were tipped off about the apartment by a taxi driver who had driven three "suspicious" individuals to the airport - and was told not to touch their luggage upon arrival.
He directed police to a house in Schaerbeek, where he had picked them up.

At least 31 people were killed and more than 270 others injured in two blasts at the airport, and a third explosion - carried out by El Bakraoui's brother Khalid - at a metro station in the Belgian capital.
