Brussels court tries suspected accomplices in Paris and Brussels terror attacks

(Brussels Times) The prosecution on Friday requested prison sentences ranging from 1 to 2 years for four accused appearing before the Brussels Correctional Court for their supporting roles in the 2015 terror attacks in Paris.

The prosecution called for a suspended sentence of 18 months with probation for Rafik El Hassani and Ayoub Bazarouj, a two-year term for Soufiane Al Aroub and a one-year sentence for Mohamed Rabhioui.
