Reporters tell trial alleged Jewish museum gunman held them hostage
BRUSSELS, Feb 7, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Two French journalists on Thursday told
a terror trial in Brussels that Mehdi Nemmouche, the main defendant in the
2014 Jewish museum murders, had held them hostage and tortured them in Syria.
“I have absolutely no doubt about the fact that Mehdi Nemmouche who is
present here was my jailer and torturer in Syria under the name of Abu Omar,”
one of the journalists, Nicolas Henin, told the trial.
