Thursday's session of the Paris terror trial, the 94th day of a legal marathon which is likely to last at least another three months, was overshadowed by the decision of two of the accused . . . Osama Krayem and Sofien Ayari . . . to remain silent. A third suspect, Mohamed Bakkali, has also indicated that he will no longer answer questions.
