Salah Abdeslam, the sole surviving member of the jihadist team that carried out the November 2015 Paris attacks, apologised on Friday to the victims at the end of his testimony during an extraordinary trial at the Special Assize Court of Paris.

"I wish to express my condolences and offer an apology to all the victims," Abdeslam told the court in a sometimes tearful statement.
