Salah Abdeslam, believed to be the sole surviving member of the Islamist squad that struck Paris in November 2015, told a court on Tuesday that he did not know of the attack plot from the outset and that he bore no responsibility for the 130 deaths that night.
Prosecutors allege that Abdeslam, a self-proclaimed Islamic State militant, made journeys across Europe in cars he hired to collect several of the would-be attackers who had returned from Syria and take them to Belgium in the months before the attack.
