Brussels Attack: A manhunt is on in Belgium for 24-year-old Najim Laachraou, who was seen in the Brussels airport yesterday with two brothers shortly before a coordinated suicide attack. Laachraou was already being sought in connection with the Paris attacks.

The two brothers in a surveillance video are identified as Khalid el-Bakraoui, 27, and Ibrahim el-Bakraoui, 30. Both set off suicide bombs.

The three men in the surveillance picture are all pushing luggage carts. The brothers are on the left, both wearing black with a single black glove on the left hand. Laachraou, on the right, is wearing an off-white jacket and a dark floppy hat. He may have left his bomb and escaped.

In the hours after the explosions, police detonated an unexploded bomb and found what is described as a bomb factory at another location in Brussels.

The Islamic State took credit for the bombings that killed 30 people and wounded 230 at the airport and inside the subway. Among the dead was a 36-year-old Peruvian woman traveling to New York with her twin 3-year-old daughters.

Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel said, “To those who have chosen to be the barbaric enemies of liberty, of democracy, of fundamental values, I want to say with the greatest strength that we will remain assembled and united.”

Cubama: President Obama sat with Cuba’s Raul Castro yesterday afternoon and watched the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Cuban national baseball team 4-1. It was a bigger moment in diplomacy than baseball.

Earlier, in a speech to the Cuban people from the Grand Theater in Havana, Obama said, “I have come here to bury the last remnant of the Cold War in the Americas.”

Obama was clear that the US wants political change in Cuba, but also that Cuba has nothing to fear. He said, “I’ve made it clear that the United States has neither the capacity, nor the intention to impose change on Cuba.  What changes come will depend upon the Cuban people.  We will not impose our political or economic system on you.”

As the welcomed guest in a communist country, Obama pushed for democracy. “The ideals that are the starting point for every revolution — America’s revolution, Cuba’s revolution, the liberation movements around the world — those ideals find their truest expression, I believe, in democracy,” Obama said. “Not because American democracy is perfect, but precisely because we’re not.  And we — like every country — need the space that democracy gives us to change.”

Poll-iticks: Ted Cruz yesterday won the Utah primary and the endorsement of former candidate Jeb Bush.

As the Republican electoral circus goes on, rare internal dissent is going public. Loyal Republican novelist and political commentator Richard North Patterson, writes in The Huffington Post that, “The GOP has become a Frankenstein monster, assembled from dysfunction, demagoguery, myopia and myth, nurtured in a fever swamp where lies and hysteria kill off reason. Nothing better will arise until you help drive a stake through its heart.”

The Obit Page: Former Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, who became a cocaine-snorting tabloid caricature, has died at age 46 after a long bout with an aggressive form of cancer.

Ford was a lovable 330-pound buffoon who at first denied smoking crack then admitted it when confronted with video evidence. “Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine,” he said. “Am I an addict? No. Have I tried it? Probably in one of my drunken stupors.” It takes a special politician to admit he smoked crack because he was drunk.

Foot Fault: A California tennis official who riled the sport’s women with an idiotic statement about female tennis players has resigned. Raymond Moore was chief executive of the Indian Wells Tennis Garden and tournament director of the BNP Paribas Open. Moore had said, “If I was a lady player, I’d go down every night on my knees and thank God that Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal were born, because they have carried this sport. They really have.”

Moore is out on a different part of the anatomy … his ass.
