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.

Paris, Nov 13 (EFE), (Camera: Josep Puig).- "The father of a victim of terrorism is also a victim," says Georges Salines, who lost his daughter in the Bataclan attack five years ago.FOOTAGE AND SOUNDBITES OF GEORGE SALINES DURING AN INTERVIEW WITH EFE: "There is no guilt, there is no complicity and regarding the responsibility for education, for what it was done or not done, believe me, it is something that the father of the terrorist must ask himself often. We have talked about it a lot and I think he did what he could, like all the parents he has not done everything well, there were times when he has not seen or understood everything his son was doing. Parents often do not understand what their teen child has in his mind.""The terrorist turned his discomfort into a flight forward with an extremely conservative and perverse way of religion. Probably because he found bad people, bad teachers, bad imams, bad... I don't know who. Bad friends who drove him to Salafism." "We are both parents who have lost a child and it is necessary to understand well that the families of jihadists can condemn everything that their children have done but they cannot stop loving them and that is something very human and inevitable. The grief is always very difficult to overcome even if the relationship you have with your son is not good. It is the case of this terrorist who did not speak with his father in the last months. They had lost all contact. He had left for Syria and refused to return to France with her father. There is this loss of contact and this is an important difference because I remember seeing my daughter on the last day of her life and having kissed her and being in perfect harmony with her until the last moment. This is a great consolation that the terrorist's father has not been able to have. And then these questions come: What could I have done wrong? Even if the father himself does not have a feeling of guilt, society is going him feeling it".
