March 2016 attacks: Focus on Hervé Muhirwa, Ibrahim Farisi and Sofien Ayari

(Brussels Times) The roles of Hervé Bayingana Muhirwa, Ibrahim Farisi and Sofien Ayari will be explained on Tuesday at the assize court charged with trying the men accused of involvement in the 22 March 2016 Brussels terror attacks.

Investigators are also slowly approaching the end of the review of the “entities” — the suicide bombers and the defendants — involved in the attacks.

Hervé Bayingana Muhirwa, born in Rwanda in 1985, spent his childhood there. His father died in 1990, “assassinated by the people in power,” according to the accused. The family then fled the country.

Muhirwa eventually arrived in Belgium in 1998, at the age of 13, and obtained Belgian nationality in October 2001.
