In a Paris trial, five suspected ISIS militants, including Mehdi Nemmouche, are charged with kidnapping and torturing four French journalists in Syria between 2013 and 2014. The journalists, held for ten months, were released in 2014. Nemmouche denies involvement, though the journalists identify him as their captor.
