PARIS, Oct 17 (APP/AFP): The brother of Salah Abdeslam, the main suspect in the Paris attacks, called on him on Monday to agree to answer questions about the November 2015 massacre. “I ask my brother to speak,” Muhammad Abdeslam told French radio station RTL. The plea came after the suspect’s two lawyers said last week they would no longer defend him given his uncompromising refusal to answer questions. Abdeslam is the sole surviving member of the group behind the November 13 carnage at a Paris concert hall, bars and the national stadium that left 130 people dead and scores injured. “During my visits to Belgium, I really saw a Salah Abdeslam who was ready to talk… A few months later, it feels like I am looking at another person. I can confirm that Salah is more withdrawn, more closed now,” the suspect’s sibling added.
