Salah Abdeslam

A Brussels court on Tuesday convicted French citizen Salah Abdeslam and Belgian-Moroccan Mohamed Abrini for 2016 jihadist bombings in the Belgian capital that killed 32 people, after the country's largest-ever criminal trial.

The sole surviving member of an ISIL group cell that killed 130 people in Paris in 2015 has not appealed his whole-life sentence for the killings, the Paris chief prosecutor said Tuesday.

The sole surviving member of an ISIL terror cell that killed 130 people in Paris in November 2015 was handed a whole-life sentence on Wednesday at the end of a trial that aimed to draw a line under the worst peace-time atrocity in modern French history.

Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attacks, which killed 130 people

The biggest trial in France's modern legal history begins on Sept. 8 over the November 2015 attacks on Paris that saw 130 people killed at bars, restaurants and the Bataclan concert hall.

The suicide bombing and gun assault by three teams of jihadists, planned from Syria and later claimed by the Islamic State group, was France's worst post-war atrocity.

Police have shot dead a gunman who killed two people and injured three others in a hostage-taking at a supermarket in the town of Trèbes, near Carcassonne in southern France, reported the Guardian. 

Police union official Yves Lefebvre confirmed the suspect was shot dead by police.

The trial of Salah Abdeslam resumed in Belgium yesterday, but the last surviving Paris attacks suspect was absent after he refused to return to court.

Federal Prosecutor Kathleen Grosjean indicated on Monday that she would ask for a maximum 20-year imprisonment sentence against Salah Abdeslam and Sofien Ayari, Brussels Timesreported.

The sole surviving suspect from the 2015 Paris terror attacks has gone on trial at a Belgian court over the gun fight that led to his arrest, according to BBC. 

Salah Abdeslam was captured in Brussels four months after the attacks.

The charges he faces are not related to events in Paris but to a shootout with police while on the run in Belgium.

Police faced-off with prison guards calling for better labor conditions who set up barricades at the Fleury-Merogis jail outside Paris. Tires were set on fire and smoke grenades were also reportedly used at the scene.
