Paris bomber got cold feet

  • 8 years ago
Captured fugitive Salah Abdeslam initially planned to blow himself up outside the Stade de France during the Paris attacks but changed his mind, a prosecutor said Saturday, after Europe's most wanted man was charged with "terrorist murder" for his role in the November assaults.
Abdeslam, who was caught after being shot in the leg in a dramatic police raid on Friday, was also charged in Brussels with participating in a terrorist group.
He was then taken to a maximum security prison in the northwestern tourist city of Bruges.
Abdeslam is cooperating with the authorities but he will fight his extradition to France, his lawyer Sven Mary said.
