(Radio France) Tuesday’s session of the Paris attacks trial was dominated by a police report on the Clain family of jihadist extremists. The court also heard from the father of a dead terrorist, another man mystified by the transformation of … his fine, normal son into a murderous stranger.
Driss Laachraoui is 66. He seems older.
He is the father of Najim, who killed himself in the 2016 Brussels airport explosion, and who is believed to have supervised the making of the suicide vests used in the Paris attacks.
Driss Laachraoui doesn’t have any answers.
His son was “a good kid, brilliant at school. Then he lost interest in his studies and we fell out because his [results] were no good.”
