ABDESLAM REFUSES TO SPEAK

The sole surviving suspect from the 2015 Paris terror attacks is refusing to speak any further in a Belgian court, where he is on trial over the gunfight that led to his arrest.

Salah Abdeslam has said he will not respond to questions from the judge.

"My silence does not make me a criminal, it's my defence," he said.

Abdeslam, 28, claimed that Muslims were "judged mercilessly", and said he was placing his trust in Allah and the Prophet Muhammad.

"I am not afraid of you, I am not afraid of your allies," he added, without making clear who he meant.

He urged the prosecution to base its case on "forensic and tangible evidence", and not to "swagger about to satisfy public opinion".

Abdeslam has refused to speak to investigators since his March 2016 arrest.

“I can never forgive the defendants because what they did, changed my life forever. I have four children and back then, my youngest was just three years old and I just forgot how to be a mom because of the post-traumatic shock I was suffering from,” Ingels told Al Jazeera.​

“Even today, I take antidepressants and sleeping pills because I still have a lot of nightmares about that day. I hope this trial will allow me to move forward and perhaps close that page,” she added.

Meanwhile, Reynaert, a victim who escaped the Maelbeek station attack, highlighted that victims need more support from the government.

“So far, it’s been a joke because victims have just been forgotten. All the money is being used for the trial of the accused. They will be punished, but they will still get better treatment in prison, get food, will be entitled to rehabilitation training. Meanwhile, we have to continue struggling,” he said.''

BRUSSELS -- Seven years after the deadliest peacetime attack on Belgian soil, the trial of 10 men accused over the suicide bombings at Brussels airport and a subway station took a major step toward its conclusion on Thursday.

More than half a year after the trial started, the court held its last audience and the jury will begin the drawn-out process of deciding on the fate of those charged. The 12 jurors will have to answer almost 300 questions about the suspects, which means reaching a verdict can take several weeks.

''The victims of the 2016 Brussels attacks were remembered at Zaventem airport and Maelbeek metro station on Saturday. Officials held a minute's silence at 7.58am at the airport and 9.11am at the metro station, exactly nine years after the bombings took place.

Saturday marks the ninth anniversary of the Brussels bombings, when Islamic State carried out two coordinated attacks at Zaventem airport and the Maelbeek metro station. The bombings left 32 people dead and 340 injured, with three more people dying from their physical or psychological injuries in the years that followed.

The victims were remembered on Saturday with a minute's silence at exactly the same time as the bombings: 7.58am at Zaventem airport and 9.11am at Maelbeek metro station. People and businesses then laid flowers at the memorial plaques while the names of the victims were read out.''
