Justice Served: Sentences Handed Down for 2016 Brussels Airport Attacks
Eight suspects in the 2016 terror attacks on Brussels have been sentenced by the Special Court of Assizes. Salah Abdeslam, a suspected co-author of the attacks and the only surviving member of the Paris commandos, received 20 years in prison. Other defendants include Mohamed Abrini and Osama Krayem. Oussama Atar, the emir of the Islamic State group who headed the jihadist cell, was tried in absentia as he is presumed to have died in Syria in 2017.
