The release of his image comes as Belgian Interior Minister Jan Jambon today said 'several suspects' tied to the Paris attacks could be at large in the country.
Jambon told Flemish broadcaster VRT this is why Belgium has put so many security resources in place in the past few days.
Authorities have previously said Salah Abdeslam, who is suspected of playing a key role in the attacks, is believed to have crossed into Belgium.
Armed soldiers and police flooded the streets Brussels, which was locked down for a second day following reports of an 'imminent' Paris-style terror attack.
Camouflaged soldiers continued to patrol the streets as a manhunt for fugitive Paris attacker Salah Abdeslam, 26, and 'several' other terror suspects, was stepped up.
The metro station was closed down and shops were shut as locals were warned to avoid large crowds.
Abdeslam, who has been described as 'armed and dangerous' went on the run after taking part in the massacre of 130 in Paris last Friday.

His brother Mohamed, who was arrested following the attacks only to be released without charge, believes he backed out of the attack 'at the very last moment'.
But Jambon said the threat facing Brussels wouldn't necessarily disappear if Abdeslam was found, because 'unfortunately, the threat is wider than this [one] figure.
'Belgium government officials today held a national security council meeting on whether to lower the capital's threat alert level and restore normalcy as the work week is set to return on Monday.'
Weekend measures have included shutting down Brussels' subway system and canceling public activities. They have created an eerie calm in the heart of the city, which is usually bustling with tourists and residents.
Upon entering the security council meeting on Sunday evening, Belgian Vice President Kris Peeters said 'tomorrow, we have school. There are the businesses. We have a new situation.'
He added that 'we have to make decisions to avoid that Brussels will be an empty city.'
