PARIS (AP) — The last surviving suspect from the deadly 2015 Paris attacks has told a court he felt “ashamed” after failing to detonate his suicide belt on the bloody night of Nov. 13. Salah Abdeslam told a Paris court that “I didn’t go all the way.” He testified in the trial into Paris’ deadliest ever peacetime attack. With thousands of plaintiffs, this trial is the biggest in modern French history. Lawyers for the survivors and families of the 130 victims hoped to hear testimony that would shed light on what happened on Nov. 13, 2015. The court on Friday released audio recordings and photos of the 2015 attacks that had never been made public before. Some survivors cried while others left the courtroom in shock.
