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 Abdelslam told a Paris court that “I didn’t go all the way. He says “I gave up trying to put on the (suicide) belt, not out of cowardice or fear. I didn’t want to, that’s all.”  He gave testimony this week as part of 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 see this week as crucial for shedding light on what happened on Nov. 13, 2015.
