Biggest trial in Belgium’s history over deadliest peacetime attack that killed 32 is set to come to an end
A jury is expected to give its verdict over Belgium’s deadliest peacetime attack, the suicide bombings at a Brussels airport and busy subway station in 2016 that killed 32 people in a wave of violence in Europe claimed by Islamic State.
Among the 10 defendants is Salah Abdeslam, who is already serving a life sentence without parole in France over his role in attacks on hit Paris cafes, the Bataclan theatre and France’s national stadium in 2015. The suspects in Brussels were tried on charges including murder, attempted murder and participation in the acts of a terrorist group.
