BRUSSELS (Reuters) - A jury in the trial of 10 men accused of involvement in the triple suicide attack at Brussels airport and the city's metro claimed by Islamic State in 2016, is set to consider its verdict, bringing to an end the country's largest court case.

The Brussels bombings killed 15 men and 17 women from almost a dozen countries -- many of whom lived in the city which is home to European Union institutions and NATO. More than 300 were injured.
