The trial of 20 people charged over the November 13, 2015 jihadist attacks in Paris that were France's deadliest peacetime atrocity will get underway in late 2021, sources close to the case said on Friday. Some 130 people died when Islamist suicide bombers and gunmen attacked a stadium, restaurants and a concert hall. The hearing in Paris will begin on September 8, 2021 and end in March 2022, said the sources who asked not to be named. Just one of the suspected perpetrators -- French-Belgian Salah Abdeslam -- will appear in court with the 19 others accused of providing various logistical support. The other attackers were killed in the wake of the strikes. asl-mdh-sjw/har
