On the 5th day of the trial over the foiled Paris train attack in August 2015, Anthony Sadler and Aleksander Skarlatos, two of the three Americans whose heroic intervention stopped assailant Ayoub El Khazzani, arrive at the Palais de Justice in Paris to give evidence. Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood made the 2018 film "The 15:17 to Paris" about the events of August 21, 2015 and had even been listed as a possible witness in the trial but will in the end not have to give testimony.

A French court was set Thursday to give its verdict against a Moroccan man charged with planning a terror attack on a Paris-bound international train, only to be thwarted passengers including off-duty US soldiers. FRANCE 24's Catherine Norris Trent tells us more.
"It feels like the closing of a five-year long chapter in our lives," says Alek Skarlatos, one of three Americans who, along with a French-American, Mark Moogalian, helped foil a terror attack on a French high-speed train travelling from Amsterdam to Paris in August 2015. The trial of Ayoub El Khazzani, the perpetrator of the failed attack, opened Monday in Paris.
Two French citizens described to a court in Paris on Thursday how they used their bare hands to disarm and immobilise an Islamist gunman in an attack on a high-speed train in France in 2015. FRANCE 24's Alison Sargent tells us more.
