> Mohamed Bakkali, convicted of coordinating logistics for the 2015 Paris attacks, may be granted parole in Belgium despite a 30-year French sentence requiring at least 20 years in prison. Authorities will decide on September 29 whether to release him under electronic monitoring, angering victims and families while prosecutors oppose the move.
