The great explanation continues, at the trial of the attacks of November 13, 2015. On Wednesday April 13, Salah Abdeslam gave his version of the night of the attacks. He assured that he had given up using his explosive vest “out of humanity”. Thursday, April 14, he was confronted with his contradictions.
Lawyers, victims, magistrates, all expected, Thursday, April 14, to know more, that Salah Abdeslam specifies his responsibility in the attacks. In the box, the last member still alive from the attacks of November 13, 2015 faces the Court, which tries to push him to his limits, in particular when he claims to have entered a bar in the 18th arrondissement, to commit an attack there. Salah Abdeslam says he gave up trying to trigger his explosive vest, abandoned in a trash can.
The prosecution points to flaws, inconsistencies, even lies in this new story. Salah Abdeslam minimizes his responsibility, describes himself as a character submissive to his brother Brahim. During 48 hours of hearing, he tried to convince the Court that he was not a cold-blooded killer. He addresses the room: “Find the strength to forgive, to give me the opportunity to find my family”. “Never !”exclaims a victim.
