(AFP) The main defendant in the trial over the November 2015 attacks in Paris disrupted proceedings Thursday with a new outburst in court, claiming three of his co-accused knew nothing about the jihadist plot.
Salah Abdeslam, the sole survivor of the group that killed 130 people, went on trial with 19 others Wednesday over the November 13, 2015, suicide bombings and gun assaults on bars, restaurants, the Bataclan concert hall and the national stadium.
“They helped me but they knew nothing at all” about the attacks plot, said Abdeslam, 31, of the three fellow accused.
“They are in prison but did nothing,” he added before his microphone was cut by the presiding judge Jean-Louis Peries, who then suspended the hearing.
