Twenty men are going on trial, six of them in absentia. All but one of the absent men are presumed dead in Syria or Abdeslam, who ditched his car and malfunctioning explosives vest, is the only defendant facing murder charges in the trial.

The sound of the first suicide bombing at 9:16 p.m. barely carried over the noise of the stadium's crowd. The second came four minutes later. French President François Hollande, at the soccer game with Germany's foreign minister, was told about the dead bombers outside. Worse was to follow.
