he man on the right in the CCTV picture, who is being hunted, had a bag of detonators that were left behind. Mr Van Leeuw said the bag had contained "the biggest bomb", which later exploded "because it was so unstable" but did not harm anyone.
He had earlier been identified in Belgian media as Najim Laachraoui, who was named earlier this week by police as a wanted accomplice of Abdeslam.
Analysts say Laachraoui is believed to be a key bomb maker, and French media say he also played a major role in the terror attacks in Paris.
Some Belgian media reported on Wednesday that he was the man arrested in Anderlecht area of the city, but Mr Van Leeuw denied the reports.
