Abdeslam is sole survivor of group accused in Paris terror attacks
Paris (CNN)Terror suspect Salah Abdeslam appeared in a Paris courtroom Wednesday but declined to address the charges against him -- saying he was exhausted due to his transfer from Belgium earlier in the day.
After Belgium turned the 26-year-old suspect over to French authorities early Wednesday, elite French military police flew him to France.
He was then handed over to authorities and taken to the Palais de Justice in central Paris to appear before the investigating magistrate, CNN's French affiliate BFM-TV reported.
His next hearing has been set for May 20, according to his French attorney, Frank Berton.
