DNA of suspected Brussels suicide bomber found at Paris attack sites

The DNA of a second suspected suicide bomber in Tuesday's attacks on Brussels, has been found at the sites of the Paris attacks in November.

Federal prosecutors believe that 24 year-old Najim Laachraoui was the suspected bomb-maker involved in the Paris attacks, on November 13. 

The news that his DNA had been linked to the Paris attacks, came as three more people were arrested in Brussels in connection to Tuesday's attack on the city's metro and international airport.

Momentum against Islamic State - Def Sec. Carter

The tide has turned in favor of the U.S. and it's allies in the fight against the Islamic State.

Iraqi commanders told the Washington Post, the fighters on the ground have lost their morale, they refuse to follow orders and just run away.

At the Pentagon, U.S. Defence Secretary Ashton Carter said he feels the U.S. has the upper hand.

The Belgian government has been criticized for failing to understand intelligence data on at least two of the Brussels bombers, with two top ministers offering their resignations.

The U.S. military estimates people from 100 countries have moved to areas controlled by the Islamic State, some to fight and some to be trained to commit acts of terror.

At the Pentagon, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Joe Dunford said intelligence sharing is key, and on the military side, has increased significantly.
