Lawyers Pull Out From Defending Paris Attacker In Court

Lawyers for the main suspect in last year's Islamist attacks in Paris say they will no longer defend him.

Salah Abdeslam will use his right to remain silent, one of the lawyers, Frank Berton said.

"We said from the beginning... that if our client remained silent we would quit his defence," he said,
alongside fellow lawyer Sven Mary.

The attacks in Paris last November on bars, restaurants, a concert hall and the Stade de France killed 130 people.
