Brussels Terror Trial: Six Convicted of Murder
26th July 2023
Two separate jihadi suicide bombings of the Maalbeek metro station in the EU Quarter and Brussels Airport in Zaventem killed 32 people—a number to which, the court ruled on Tuesday, three victims, like the 23-year-old Shanti De Corte who chose euthanasia, must be added since they did not manage to overcome the mental trauma they had suffered.
In addition to the now-official 35 fatalities, nearly 300 people were injured.
The most notorious of all the defendants in Brussels is Salah Abdeslam, who is already serving a life sentence in France for his role in the 2015 Paris attacks, in which he was the sole survivor out of eight.
Wherever you go,
Whatever you do,
A Muslim waits there
To try to kill you.
