(National-UAE) A Belgian politician who investigated the suspected mastermind of the 2015 Paris terrorist attacks said mistakes have been repeated that have left youngsters at risk from dangerous radicalisers in their communities.
Belgian-Moroccan citizen Oussama Atar is believed to have been killed by a US drone strike in 2017 and is one of six absent suspects standing trial on Wednesday in Paris accused of involvement in the three hours of bomb and gun attacks in the French capital that left 130 dead.
Georges Dallemagne, a Belgian MP who lived 400 metres from Atar and investigated his terrorist roots, found that he had been first radicalised by a group of charismatic preachers and fighters who had returned from Afghanistan.
