Brussels terror attacks trial postponed over 'glass box' bungle

Summary by Ground News

The court of assizes said an October 10 session to select the jury had been cancelled. Delay came after a preliminary hearing earlier this month ended in a huge controversy over the installation of individual transparent cubicles for the defendants. Nine alleged members of the Islamic State (IS) group cell that launched both the March 2016 suicide bombings in Belgium and the November 2015 attacks in Paris face terrorism charges.
