Paris attacks: Salah Abdeslam refuses to talk to anti-terror judge
Abdeslam is still refusing to talk.

The only member of the jihadist commando team still alive, involved in the November 13th, 2015, jihadist attacks in Paris, Salah Abdeslam, was summoned before an anti-terrorist judge today (Tuesday). The Belga press agency has learned from a judicial source that he “refused to answer questions.”

The source also confirmed that he did not seek assistance from a lawyer.

Abdeslam, aged 27, was taken out of his cell in Fleury-Mérogis in the early hours of this morning.

Since being transferred from Belgium to France on April 27th, the key suspect in the Paris and Saint-Denis attacks, which caused 130 deaths, has so far said nothing.

In mid-October, his lawyers refused to act for him anymore, having the “genuine conviction that he will never tell his side of the story, despite having opportunities to do so.”
