Captured Paris terror suspect, Salah Abdeslam, accused of being involved in the November attacks in Paris that killed 130 people was supposed to blow himself up at the Stade de France stadium but had a change of mind, it has emerged.

Abdeslam was on the run evading the police for 120 days until his capture during an anti-terror raid on Friday.

The Independent reports:

Abdeslam told investigators he had planned to blow himself up at the Stade de France, but changed his mind, the French prosecutor has said.

“Salah Abdesalam today during questioning by investigators affirmed that, and I quote, ‘he wanted to blow himself up at the Stade de France and that he had backed down’,” Francois Molins told reporters, adding that Abdeslam’s initial statements should be treated with caution.

“His first statements, that we must take with precaution, leave unanswered a series of questions on which Abdeslam will have to explain, in particular, his presence in the 18th district of Paris on Nov. 13 at 22h (10 p.m.),” Molins said.Salah Abdeslam

“He will also have to explain the reasons why he decided to finally abandon his suicide belt.”

Abdeslam fled the attacks after removing his suicide bomb belt, which was found in a bin in the southern Paris suburb of Montrouge.

An hour after the attacks, he bought a SIM card from a shop in the 18th arondissment in northern Paris and called two friends in Brussels to pick him up.

After walking for nearly nine hours, he met them in Châtillon, a suburb on the other side of the city, around 7am.Salah Abdeslam

Mr Molins said he played a “central role” in the planning and logistics in the attacks, citing several trips cross Europe in July, September, October and November.

He also said Abdeslam bought detonators and oxygenated water used for making explosives.

Abdeslam was eventually arrested after a dirty glass and a suspiciously large pizza order led police to his hideout.

A second man arrested in the raid, named as Soufyane Kayal, is said to be an associate of a terror suspect killed on Tuesday.

Belgian officials have officially charged Abdeslam and the other man, who was using two aliases, “with participation in terrorist murder”.

  1. I love how he’s letting two NON covered presumably European women kiss him…..the same women his ‘group’ apparently scorns and wants to kill en masse. No hypocrisy there. Of course, there’s no hypocrisy anywhere in Islam, and especially in ISIS where they give birth control to the women they hold captive as sex slaves.
