Paris, France:
Captured Paris attacks fugitive Salah Abdeslam told interrogators that he "wanted to blow himself up" at the Stade de France stadium but changed his mind, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said Saturday.
"These first statements, which should be taken cautiously, leave a whole series of issues that Salah Abdeslam must explain," Molins told a Paris news conference.
In particular, after dropping off accomplices at the Stade de France, Abdeslam was detected in the 18th arrondissement -- which was one of the targets cited by the Islamic State group in its claim of responsibility for the November 13 attacks that killed 130 people.
The 18th arrondissement was spared in the rampage, which was concentrated in a trendy part of eastern Paris including the Bataclan concert hall where 90 people were massacred.
