(AFP) Judges investigating the Jewish museum attack in Brussels rejected on Tuesday defence claims that Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency may have played a role.
Lawyers defending Mehdi Nemmouche deny charges that he shot dead four people at the museum in May 2014, suggesting instead that Mossad agents staged “a targeted execution.”
But investigating judges Claire Bruyneel and Berta Bernardo Mendez told the court there was no evidence to support such a claim.
“Is there an element which can suggest links with the Mossad?” presiding judge Laurence Massart asked the pair. “None,” the investigating judges replied.
