Lawyer for Salah Abdeslam, held in Belgium and fighting extradition to France, said weekend comments by French official violated probe's confidentiality.
The European Union's inability to establish strict, continent-wide regulations concerning the sales of deactivated military weapons, but which allows the widespread sale of assault rifles that can be easily reactivated, played a very clear role in the arming of Islamist terrorists who carried out the waves of terrorist attacks in Paris in January and November 2015. Mediapart, in conjunction with the European media network, European Investigative Collaborations, presents an interactive map showing the trail of the arms used by the terrorists in the Paris attacks of January 2015.
The Paris terror attacks fugitive, arrested in Brussels, has refused to be extradited to France but is 'cooperating' with Belgian police, says his lawyer.
French national Salah Abdeslam, 26, wanted for his part in the November attacks that left 130 dead, was wounded during his arrest in Molenbeek area of Brussels.
Belgian prosecutors said fingerprints of Salah Abdeslam, who took part in the November 13th attacks in Paris, were found in a flat raided earlier this week.
The three men and a woman, described by security services as radical Islamists, were arrested in Paris and a northern suburb in dawn raids.
