PARIS: A heavily-armed gunman overpowered by passengers on a crowded train is ‘dumbfounded’ by allegations of terrorism and denies any shot was fired, his lawyer said in comments broadcast on Sunday.
The alleged attacker, named as 25-year-old Moroccan national Ayoub El Khazzani, on Friday evening boarded a high-speed train in Brussels bound for Paris armed with a Kalashnikov assault rifle, Luger automatic pistol, nine cartridge clips and a box-cutter.
