The
mastermind behind the Paris terror attacks was today named as one of
ISIS' top executioners who even recruited his 13-year-old brother to
fight with him in Syria. Belgian
extremist Abdelhamid Abaaoud, 27, is one of the world's most wanted war
criminals and is believed to have persuaded thousands of young jihadis
to come to Syria, including his teenage brother Younes, ISIS' youngest
fanatic. Photos after the cut...
Abaaoud,
who has regularly posed with bodies he decapitated and was seen in
Greece in January but evaded arrest, was also linked to the thwarted
high speed train attack earlier this year and church attacks around
Paris.
His
own father reported him to the police for grooming his younger brother
as an extremist and was sentenced to 20 years in prison in absentia by
the Belgian courts.
He
is from the Brussels district of Molenbeek, known as the 'jihadi
capital of Europe', where the eight-strong killer squad who murdered 129
people in Paris on Friday are believed to have collected automatic
weapons and suicide vests before driving into France in rented cars.
Once
a student at one of Brussels' most prestigious high schools,
Saint-Pierre d'Uccle, Abdelhamid Abaaoud morphed into Belgium's most
notorious jihadi, a zealot so devoted to the holy war that he recruited
his 13-year-old brother to join him in Syria.
