Belgium today commemorates the victims of the Islamist attacks in Brussels on March 22, 2016. In the attacks five years ago in Brussels-Zaventem airport and in the Brussels metro, 32 people were killed and 340 others were injured.
The Islamic State (IS) jihadist militia claimed the attacks for themselves. A lawsuit is currently pending between 700 plaintiffs, the Belgian state and insurers. It is expected to decide who is responsible for compensation at the end of 2022.
