Belgian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Didier Reynders, acting European Parliament President,Gianni Pittella and ambassadors to the European Union from more than 13 countries, including US Ambassador Anthony Gardner, will participate Wednesday in Brussels in a commemoration ceremony to mark 30 days since the death of four people in the terrorist attack at the Brussels Jewish Museum.
The event, organized by the European Jewish Association (EJA), will take place at the organization’s headquarters in the Belgian capital.
On May 24, a terrorist killed four people at the Jewish Museum: a couple of Israeli tourists, Emanuel and Miriam Riva, Alexandre Strens, a Belgian employee at the museum, whose father is Muslim and his mother Jewish, and Dominique Sabrier, a French citizen who volunteered at the museum.
A 29-year-old Frenchman, Mehdi Nemmouche, suspected of being the gunman was arrested six days later in Marseille on a routine check.
The man, who spent a year with jihadists fighting in Syria, is waiting a French court decision on his extradition to Belgium.
