Paris attacks suspect's trial in Belgium postponed

BRUSSELS – A closely watched trial in Belgium involving the only surviving suspect in the 2015 attacks in Paris has been postponed to give a newly appointed lawyer time to prepare.

Salah Abdeslam's trial in Brussels was set to begin Monday but the defense requested a delay. Lawyer Sven Mary told reporters outside the courthouse that the new start date for the trial is Feb. 5.

He also confirmed that he will be seeing Abdeslam in France to prepare his defense.
