Breaking: Salah Abdeslam found guilty of murder in Paris terror attacks trial
At long last, the fate of Salah Abdeslam has been decided: he has been found guilty of terrorism and murder charges by a criminal court.
Abdeslam was the chief suspect and only survivor of the 10-member team of extremists. He was found guilty of murder and attempted murder in relation with a terrorist enterprise, among other charges. He faces up to life in prison without parole, the toughest sentence in France. “It wasn’t a mass — these were individuals who had a life, who loved, had hopes and expectations,” she said.
Most of the suspects are accused of helping create false identities, transporting the attackers back to Europe from Syria or providing them with money, phones, explosives or weapons. “Not everyone is a jihadi, but all of those you are judging accepted to take part in a terrorist group, either by conviction, cowardliness or greed,” prosecutor Nicolas Braconnay told the court this month.
The sound of the first suicide bombing at 9.16pm barely carried over the noise of the stadium’s crowd. The second came four minutes later. A squad of gunmen opened fire at several bars and restaurants in another part of Paris. That bloodshed outside came to an end at 9.41pm.
