Survivors of Brussels suicide attacks seek closure at trial

BRUSSELS — Jaana Mettala was six months pregnant and on her way to work when the bomb exploded in the heart of Brussels’ European Union quarter. “I hope that the trial ends with a fair result and we can put this behind us,” Mettala said. “Even if there are after-effects that we will keep forever.” She is going to testify at the trial — which will be the biggest in Belgium’s judicial history with hundreds of plaintiffs. “The defendants were talking to each other, it’s not a bad thing since it is extremely important for the victims that they are in good condition to explain, to address the court, and answer questions,” said Maryse Alié, a lawyer working with the group.
