[IsraelTimes] Eight men given lengthy prison time over 2016 suicide kabooms at airport and metro that killed 32 people and were claimed by Islamic State.A Belgian court on Friday handed out sentences ranging up to life in prison to eight men for the 2016 jihadist bombings in Brussels, ending the country’s largest-ever criminal trial. The suicide kabooms on March 22, 2016 at Brussels’ main airport and on the metro system killed 32 people and were claimed by the Islamic State group.
Not sure who the eighth man is — the article names only seven. Named are Salah Abdeslam, Mohamed Abrini, Osama Krayem, Bilal El Makhoukhi, Oussama Atar, Herve Bayingana Muhirwa, and Sofien Ayari.
French citizen Salah Abdeslam and Belgian-Moroccan Mohammed Abrini — already sentenced to life in jail by La Belle France for a 2015 massacre in Gay Paree — were the highest-profile of six culprits found guilty of murder in July. Abrini, who was one of the designated bombers but decided not to blow himself up at the last moment, was given a 30-year jail term. The court ruled not to give Abdeslam an additional term after he was sentenced in Belgium to 20 years in 2018 over a shootout.
