(Brussels Times) Accused terrorist Salah Abdeslam held wide-ranging and open conversations with his fellow prisoners while he was detained in Bruges prison following his arrest in Brussels in March 2016, according to secret recordings made by Belgian state security.
A document containing details of these conversations has now been obtained by the French newspaper Le Parisien, which publishes details today (paywall).
Abdeslam was arrested in connection with the attacks in Paris in November 2015. After exchanging gunfire with police in Forest commune in Brussels, he was arrested, and many think his arrest was a signal for his confederates in Brussels to carry out the attacks on Brussels Airport and Maalbeek metro four days later.
