BRUSSELS (AFP) - A Frenchman suspected of carrying out a deadly shooting in May at the Jewish Museum in Brussels was charged on Wednesday with "murder in a terrorist context", the Belgian prosecutor's office said.

Mehdi Nemmouche, 29, who spent more than a year fighting with Islamist extremists in Syria, was extradited from France to Belgium the previous day to be questioned over the May 24 shooting, which left four people dead.
