Im sorry kelly welcome to the Program Thanks for joining us belgium is on high alert today as the trial begins for the man who was believed to be the sole surviving suspect in the twenty fifteen paris attacks of the slum is on trial in brussels today over the shootout with Belgian Police that led to his capture he has so far refused to answer any questions about this charge is against him. And well get more on the court case in just a moment but first lets take a closer look at the slum and his dramatic arrest. The end of an International Manhunt on the eighteenth of march twenty sixth seen Belgian SpecialPolice Capture one of the most wanted terrorist suspects in europe the man believed to be the only surviving suspect of the paris terror attacks that just four months before this police raid had left one hundred and thirty people dead. A french citizen born in brussels in september one thousand nine hundred eighty nine his current trial is focused on the shootout that led to his capture but the real focus of investigators is whether he played a major role in planning and executing the attacks or was he merely a low level follower. To learn more we spoke with a former member of the French Secret Service klugman he had spent decades researching Terror Networks between europe and the middle east and he says the evidence is clear. Some time so that islam is a central figure and the only survivor not counting supporters in syria or iraq without up to slam there would have been no paris attacks on the thirteenth of november or the brussels attacks of march twenty second. It was hard to slant he brought the terrorists into the country in small groups who rented their hideouts and the vehicles that they used to plunk down a killing. Investigators worked intensely to locate up to salaam and he started making mistakes in the end he had almost nowhere left to hide. Due to my day the house searches interrogation research large scale surveillance operations all of that steadily reduce the circle of people that could trust them with confusions after his arrest of the slum was. Taken to a maximum security prison near paris and since then he has said nothing his lawyer spend mary described as a small time criminal whos too stupid to plan a conspiracy and one interview by re says up just lom has quote the intelligence of an empty ass tray. And im just lumps family has also tried to reinforce this line of defense one of his brothers says of the salon lost his nerve and intentionally failed to set off the suicide vest he was wearing the terror experts say its all part of a deliberate Defense Strategy he said some children can deaconesses suicide vest which they say he didnt use today we know two important things that had too technical faults and thats why he didnt go off. Plus one have to slums computer theres an email in which he complained about the equipment and demanded better stuff for the next time but the sooner pushing further in whatever material he was involved from start to finish not someone who is fragmented or. Isnt a kid. Observers expect slums lawyers to do Everything Possible to cultivate the idea that he was just a small fish. The start of his trial marks the accused first public appearance and it could set the tone for how the trial against him for the paris attacks will unfold. To syria now where activists say that there has been a new chlorine gas attack in rebel held in the province medics in the town of sorry say that they treated civilians for breathing disorders linked to the poisonous gas following Government Airstrikes the Syrian Regime denies using chemical weapons meanwhile pictures have emerged of the aftermath of russia air raids and it live province that reportedly killed several people towns are said to have been bombarded after rebels shot down a russian jet and killed its pilot over the weekend. For more on this i am joined now by syrian activist from istanbul he is the host of the Syrian OppositionRadio Station which is highly critical of the assad regime welcome to you and make you so much for joining us i want to turn first to these reports of this alleged gas attack were more are you hearing from your sources there in the country. Theyre going to question the voice wasnt as good can you just repeat that please we heard reports of an alleged chlorine gas attack in a live province allegedly conducted by the assad regime and were wondering if you have heard any further information from your sources in the country. This is definitely not the first and it doesnt seem like its going to be the last attack on civilians using chemical weapons this happened inside october which is at lip countryside so dark i was one of those styles that have you know desist the old kind of extremism starting with the assad regime. Has always been a stronghold for the moderate Syrian Opposition and all the other attacks previous to this you know video document. Enough investigators. You know part of the International Efforts to you know be weaponized syria from weapons of mass destruction have also confirmed that such attacks can only be carried out by c. N. N. To deem all it one of its allies were talking about military capabilities here now fortunately for president s who read and sarka b. S. That they there were no casualties because we know with the clothing. Results and casualties it is munt to you know force it and thirty that they see it is deemed as being diet to force for the past seven years so again it comes in you know as one episode in a very long and painful cds of photogs. It doesnt seem like these attacks were evident and if this attack is confirmed indeed to have happened if we do get that confirmation what do you think that that says about the strategy of the Assad Government at the current moment. I dont think it will change anything we have enough documented attacks if we ignore the many and repeated claudian attacks on civilians we can never ignore the fifteen hundred casualties and a little and august two thousand and thirteen we cannot ignore. The video the sun set in gaza tock both of these were very documented most of the governments especially the western governments gathered evidences from the site of photogs that proved the use of sighting gods and they have also documented such gods can only be produced and you know military facilities and that belongs only to the seed energy so your question i dont think you know that is a significance and documenting more and more attacks since we already know who that the point here is not the lack of evidence is the point here is the lack of the International World specially of the United NationsSecurity Council to punish such crimes to punish such shoes off opens the funds to search and we will see if that is indeed the case we know that the un Security Council will discuss this issue a little later today one thank you very much for joining us to share your view on the matter on who died in the turkish city of istanbul as we mentioned youre the host of the Syrian OppositionRadio Station that is highly critical of the assad regime.
