(Radio France) Friday’s hearing at the November 2015 terror trial was devoted to testimony from Adel Haddadi, an Islamic State suspect who was arrested in Austria, and who is accused of having planned to take part in the Paris attacks.
Adel Haddadi is either very stupid or very clever.
This is the man who claims he joined Islamic State by accident; who worked as a cook for the terrorist organisation; who was chosen for the glory of a suicide mission in Europe at the last minute; who left Syria with the two Iraqi bombers who died at the Stade de France in November 2015; who got lost along the way and was arrested in Greece, then in Austria.
Late in Friday’s session, one of the lawyers representing bereaved families voiced the question on everybody’s lips: “Are you pretending to be naive?” she asked.
