Summary Eight of 10 accused convictedSentencing to follow in SeptemberBRUSSELS, July 25 (Reuters) - A Belgian court convicted six men of murder and two others of terrorism charges on Tuesday after the country's largest ever trial involving the 2016 Islamist bombings in Brussels that killed 32 people.
The six, of 10 facing charges, were found guilty of murder and attempted murder in a terrorist context for their part in the twin bombings at Brussels airport and third bomb on the city's metro on March 22, 2016.
Among those convicted was Salah Abdeslam, the main suspect in the trial over the Paris attacks that killed 130 people.
The four are among six accused already convicted in France over the November 2015 Paris attacks.
The 12 jury members reached a decision on Monday after two weeks in isolation at the end of a seven-month trial at the former headquarters of NATO specially set up to host the Brussels bombings trial.
