ONE OF THE three suicide attackers at the Bataclan concert hall in Paris last November was buried in eastern France yesterday, said a source close to the investigation.
Foued Mohamed-Aggad, who was 23 when he died, was buried before dawn in a Muslim part of the Wissembourg cemetery in northern Alsace.
He had lived in the town with his mother before leaving for Syria in late 2013 along with the other two men who attacked the Bataclan, Omar Ismail Mostefai and Samy Amimour.
Leaked Islamic State group documents showed Mohamed-Aggad had arrived in IS territory on 18 December 2013 with an unusually large group of French jihadists that included 14 men and their families.
A text sent from Syria by Mohamed-Aggad’s wife to her mother, saying:
Your son has died a martyr with his brothers on 13 November.
It helped identify him. His DNA was later matched to that of his mother.
The three men, using guns and suicide vests, killed 90 people at the Bataclan during a concert by rock band Eagles of Death Metal in the deadliest attack of the bloody rampage that claimed 130 lives across the French capital on 13 November.

The sooner these bottom feeders are brought to justice the better.
Just seems like a no brainer that if you want to tackle crime at a high level you just target the proceeds of crime. I can’t fart without the taxman knowing and yet these lads can build empires by laundering money … less detectives and more accountants should sort it out.
@Pablo: What’s the going rate of tax for a fart these days? I could be in trouble
I suspect that more people are driven into poverty and maintained there by loopholes to protect the wealthy than are affected by the targets of this.
Yes, the drug culture and those who profit from it and the crime generated by their greed needs to be sorted but the consumers in a lot of cases are so called respectable members of society who don’t seem to see the link between recreational use of white powder and murder on the streets – usually on streets that are seldom visited by such people.
Drug dealing is a crime against society but so is creating loopholes to allow wealthy people to avoid their proper contribution to society from which they get a lot more benefit.
I opened a credit union account for my daughter a couple of months ago, the length of the form to fill out was unbelievable. My daughter said she never signed her signature as many times. Yet these people are able to acquire money from crime and very few questions asked.
