Brussels attacks trial: Six convicted for 2016 jihadist bombings
Issued on: Modified:
It’s been more than seven years since Belgium’s worst ever peacetime attack. In March of 2016 an islamic state terror cell carried out twin bombings at the Brussels airport alongside a third on the Metro. A court Tuesday convicted six men of murder and two others of terrorism charges, including French citizen Salah Abdeslam and Belgian-Moroccan Mohamed Abrini – both already sentenced to life in jail by France for the Paris attacks in 2015. FRANCE 24’s Peter O’Brien tells us more.
