(Radio France) Surviving Paris attacks terrorist Salah Abdeslam on Wednesday surprised the special criminal court in Paris by agreeing to answer questions about his specific mission on 13 November 2015. While zones of doubt and mystery remain, Abdeslam did provide new information on several key issues.
That Friday night, Abdeslam drove three suicide bombers to the Stade de France, just outside Paris, where 80,000 supporters were watching the football match between France and Germany.
He then followed a route that he had scouted earlier that afternoon to the heart of the 18th district of the French capital, renowned for its bars, strip clubs and joyous nightlife.
Wearing a suicide vest, Abdeslam entered a corner café — he does not remember either the name or the precise location — earlier chosen as a target by himself and his brother Brahim.
