(Brussels Times) The Jewish Museum in Brussels commemorated the seventh anniversary of the terror attack that took place there on 24 May 2014 with a subdued ceremony.
The commemoration was attended by Chief Rabbi Albert Guigui, Brussels Minister-President Rudi Vervoort and Brussels Mayor Philippe Close.
“My thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones,” said Vervoort. “We do not forget this despicable act and we remain united against hatred.”
On 24 May 2014 at 15:38, the Jewish Museum became the target of a terrorist attack that killed four people: an Israeli couple Emmanuel and Myriam Riva, a French woman Dominique Sabrier, and museum employee Alexandre Strens were shot in cold blood by Mehdi Nemmouche, a radicalised Islamist terrorist.
