(AFP) - French jihadist Mehdi Nemmouche, accused of being the first battle-hardened jihadist to stage a terror attack on European soil, appeared in court on Monday, ahead of his trial for shooting dead four people at a Jewish museum in Brussels in 2014 following his return from Syria.
He faces a life sentence if convicted. A criminal court in the Belgian capital is expected to spend Monday selecting the 12-member jury ahead of the start of the full trial on Thursday.
