(Radio France) The terrorist survivor of the Paris attacks Salah Abdeslam resumed his evidence late on Wednesday, after the court had heard and dismissed claims of prejudice from some of the defence lawyers. It was as if Tuesday’s mass walk-out by the entire defence contingent had never taken place.
Salah Abdeslam won’t name names. Even when the people named are dead.
Abdeslam’s testimony
On Tuesday, he admitted making two trips to eastern Europe, to collect “my brothers in Islam, because they were in a war zone, attacked by [Bashar] Al-Assad, Putin, the Kurds. I couldn’t leave my brothers. I knew they were there. I don’t regret it.”
