Osama Krayem is a Swedish national of Syrian origin and a suspected terrorist involved in 2016 Brussels bombings. He was one of five men arrested on 8 April 2016 by the Belgian police, with another of those detained being terrorist suspect Mohamed Abrini.

Krayem grew up in Malmö, Sweden. He is thought to have been radicalized in Sweden and left the country sometime in 2014 to join ISIS in Syria to fight alongside the anti-Assad islamic militant group. He was identified by the Swedish press in a Facebook post dated January 2015 sent to his brother in Sweden dressed in military fatigues, standing in front of an ISIS flag and holding an AK-47.

He later returned to Europe using a false passport under the name Naïm Al Hamed (identified as a Syrian national born on 1 January 1988 and originating from Hama, Syria) illegally travelling under this name along the migrant route from Turkey to Greece and on to Belgium.

Krayem is believed to be the man seen on CCTV at the Brussels City 2 shopping centre, where he bought the rucksacks used later for the 22 March 2016 terror attack in Brussels Airport in Zaventem. He is also thought to have been the second man alongside bomber Khalid el-Bakraoui at the Pétillon metro station. El-Bekraoui is thought to have carried out the bombing of Maelbeek metro station minutes later on the morning of 22 March 2016.
