(Radio France) Wednesday’s session of the Paris terror trial was devoted to Belgian police evidence on the backgrounds of Abdellah Chouaa and Ali Oulkadi, two of the accused who are not in police custody and who sit near, but not inside, the prisoners’ enclosure.
Chouaa would be the last person to ask for help if you were planning to go to Syria to fight in the ranks of Islamic State.
On two separate occasions Chouaa went voluntarily to the Belgian police to denounce family members — his father and his brother Abderrahmane — whom he had reason to believe they wanted to join radical armed groups, the father in Afghanistan, the brother in Syria.
