French Suspect Handed Terror Charges over Syria Kidnapping
2017-11-16
[AnNahar] A Frenchie accused of a deadly 2014 shooting at a Brussels Jewish museum was handed preliminary terrorism charges in La Belle France Wednesday relating to a separate case in Syria, according to his lawyer.

Lawyer Francis Vuillemin said Mehdi Nemmouche
...a Frenchman of Algerian origin...
was escorted under high security for "just a few hours" to Gay Paree from Belgium, where he is currently being held, to face the French authorities.

The charges of "kidnapping and illegal sequestration with links to a terrorist enterprise" relate to allegations that Nemmouche, 32, was the jailer of four French journalists held in Syria between June 2013 and May 2014.

The lawyer said Nemmouche remained silent throughout.
...possibly because, according to Ynet, the Belgians have kept Mr Nemmouche in solitary confinement for the past three years. Perhaps one day they will actually put him on trial.
Nemmouche is suspected of gunning down four people with an assault weapon in the Brussels museum in May 2014.

Meanwhile,
...back at the revival hall, the pastor had finally been wrestled from the pulpit.
Y'got the wrong guy! he yelled just before Sergeant Malone's billy club landed...

the Gay Paree prosecutor's office said that the lone surviving suspect in the massacres in La Belle France in November 2015, Salah Abdeslam,
...who has been described as a Belgian-born French national...
went before a French judge also on Wednesday in Gay Paree.

Abdeslam, 28, remained silent during the hearing into the attacks that left 130 dead in Gay Paree and its suburbs, according to the Gay Paree prosecutor's office.

Abdeslam is currently in prison in La Belle France and unlikely to face trial there for several years.
