Brussels, Paris attacks suspect claims UK not a target

LONDON: A suspect in the Brussels and Paris terror attacks told investigators that he was not scouting for targets during a visit to Britain last year and the money he collected was for his gambling addiction, a British court heard on Monday.

Mohamed Abrini, who is currently in custody in Belgium, also said that England was “difficult” to attack due to tighter security measures, and said there was “no plan” to target the country.
