[originaltext] Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam has contacted his lawyer

Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam has contacted his lawyer, according to an unconfirmed report.
    Abdeslam has been on the run since he was driven back to Belgium hours after the gun and bomb attacks which left 130 people dead on 13 November. According to a reliable source, the Belga news agency said he had got in touch with lawyer Sven Mary. Mr Mary has refused to comment on the report and the federal police have described it as "only a rumour".
    Meanwhile, the Paris prosecutor’s office has named Chakib Akrouh as the suicide bomber who blew himself up in a Saint-Denis flat linked to the attackers. Akrouh was a Belgian-Moroccan national, born in Belgium in 1990.
    Mr Mary denied a similar report last month by Belgian newspaper Het Nieuwsblad. He has said he would be prepared to represent the criminal, who is thought to have dropped off three suicide bombers before the attack at the Stade de France.
