Authorities have said that Abdeslam is believed to have played a role in organising the Brussels attacks before his arrest.
Will McCants, author of "The ISIS Apocalypse," told Business Insider:
"The note would confirm the speculation that the attackers moved up the timetable because Abdeslam was arrested.
At least 31 people have been reported killed and dozens more wounded after attacks on Zaventem Airport and the Maelbeek metro station in Brussels on Tuesday morning.
Ibrahim is thought to have detonated his explosives at the airport, killing at least 10 people, while his brother is thought to be responsible for the suicide attack at the metro station that killed 20 others.
The police have not yet identified their third suspect, but have released this photo in a search appeal for the man in the beige jacket.
