American ex-serviceman says 'no hero' despite foiling terror attack on French TGV

Description

Aleksander Skarlatos, one of three Americans who helped foil a terrorist attack on board a French high-speed Thalys train in 2015, says he does not consider himself a "hero". He has just testified in Paris at the court where a 31-year-old jihadist, Moroccan Ayoub El Khazzani, is being tried along with three co-defendants. El Khazzani was wrestled to the floor of the Brussels to Paris train by Skarlatos and three other men after he had opened fire. IMAGES
