Paris attacks suspect faces questioning in 2nd hearing

Xinhua, September 8, 2016 Adjust font size:

Salah Abdeslam, thought to be the only surviving suspect of Paris attacks in November 2015, arrived Thursday at a court in Paris for a second hearing, local media reported.

With a heavily guarded convoy, Abdeslam arrived at the court to answer questions about the series of explosions and shootings that killed 130 people in Paris on Nov. 13, 2015.

At his first hearing in May, the 26-year-old man refused to say anything about the attacks, in protest against round-the-clock surveillance in jail, according to his defense lawyer.

Abdeslam was extradited to France from Belgium amid tight security in April.

He has been in solitary confinement and under permanent camera surveillance in a high-security prison in Paris. Endi
