A Belgian court on Friday sentenced six men to sentences ranging from 20 years to life in prison on charges of terrorist murder in connection with 2016 suicide bombings that killed 32 people and wounded hundreds at Brussels airport and a busy subway station, the country’s deadliest peacetime attack.
A chief suspect, Salah Abdeslam, was given a 20-year sentence for involvement in a shootout days before the March 22, 2016 attacks. It happened after police discovered him and another suspect by accident when they inspected what they thought was an empty apartment. Four officers were hurt.
