Belgian federal police said it ended a three-year-long investigation into the shooting at Brussels Jewish Museum and released its final report.

One of the suspects of the terror attack, in which four people were killed on May 24, 2014, remains unidentified.

The justice must now decide which court will try the alleged shooter Mehdi Nemmouche and his two suspected accomplices. The trial could start in 2018.
