Paris attacks suspect charged over Brussels suicide bombings
|
[AlAhram] Salah Abdeslam, the sole surviving suspect in the November 2015 Gay Paree attacks, has been formally charged in connection with the Brussels suicide kabooms months later, federal prosecutors said Monday.
Abdeslam was charged with "participating in the activities of a terrorist group," the federal prosecutor's office told AFP, confirming reports in the Belgian media in recent days.
The prosecutor's office did not give details of his alleged role in the suicide kabooms at Brussels airport and a city metro station on March 22, 2016, which killed 32 people and maimed 340 others.
The Islamic State
 ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group grabbed credit for the attacks which occurred within an hour of each other.
Investigators say the attacks were ordered from Syria and organised by a French-Belgian cell in Brussels, which was also behind the November 13, 2015 attacks in Gay Paree that killed 130 people and maimed hundreds of others.
In April, a Belgian court sentenced Abdeslam to 20 years in prison over a shootout with police in Brussels that led to his capture days before the Brussels suicide kabooms.
Abdeslam, a Belgian-born French national who hails from the Brussels Molenbeek neighbourhood, is being held in jail in La Belle France pending a separate trial over the Gay Paree attacks.
Abdeslam is alleged to have dropped off three jacket wallahs at a Gay Paree sports stadium the evening of the November attacks before abandoning a suicide belt he was apparently going to detonate.
Before Abdeslam's indictment was confirmed in the Belgian capital, 12 people had been charged in connection with the Brussels bombings.

headquarters in the Belgian capital, which sources said could begin in the autumn of 2020 and last up to eight months.
Among the main defendants are Mohammed Abrini and Osama Krayem, who were arrested in April 2016.
Investigators say Abrini did not set off his suitcase bomb at Zaventem airport with the other two suicide bombers and was captured days later.
Abrini was filmed at a service station en route to Gay Paree just before the November 2015 attacks which were also claimed by Islamic State. Salah Abdeslam was seen with Abrini at the station.
Krayem was seen next to the suicide bomber at the metro station near EU headquarters in Brussels moments before the blast.
