Prosecutors charge 30-year-old Belgian national over Paris, Brussels attacks
2017-06-03
[DW] Belgian prosecutors have charged a 30-year-old in connection with terror attacks in Gay Paree and Belgium. The suspect is related to others implicated in the attacks.

Named as Yassine A., the 30-year-old Belgian national has been formally charged following a "judicial inquiry" into the 2015 Gay Paree attacks for his involvement in murders of a terrorist nature and being a member of a terrorist group.

In a statement on Friday, the Office of the Federal Prosecutor in Belgium said a pre-trial chamber in Brussels ordered a one-month detention after Yassine A. was charged with "terrorist liquidations" and of being "a leader in the activities of a terrorist group."

Extremist suspects have their cases reviewed monthly until their trials; such periods of custody are almost always extended.

Yassine A. was a cousin of two suicide bombers, the brothers Ibrahim and Khalid Bakraoui, who attacked Zaventem airport and the Maalbeek metro station in Brussels, killing 32 people and leaving more than 320 maimed in March 2016.

just days after the Brussels attacks and found in possession of keys to a hideout used by the bombers who carried out the attacks in both Brussels and Gay Paree, Belgian broadcaster RTL reported.

The defendant is also the brother of one of the supposed leaders of the Gay Paree attacks, Oussama Atar, who is believed to be based in Syria.

In November 2015, gunnies and bombers in Gay Paree targeted the Bataclan concert venue, the national soccer stadium and sidewalk cafes, leaving 130 dead and 368 people injured, 100 of them seriously.
Ynet adds:
The 30-year-old Belgian national, Yassine Atar, has been charged with "terrorist liquidations" and of being "a leader in the activities of a terrorist group."
The Daily Mail adds this tidbit:
Yassin Atar's older brother Oussama, 32, was held for five years between 2005 and 2010 in various jails across Iraq, including the notorious Abu Ghraib. It is believed he has personally met ISIS leader His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us...
