Father of suspected Paris attacks’ mastermind denounces him



Abaaoud father of Abdelhamid Abaaoud, who is suspected by European authorities of being one of the masterminds of the Paris terrorist attacks, has rejected his son’s behaviour and denounced him in Belgian media.


The Moroccan immigrants said on Wednesday in an interview in Brussels that he was so ashamed of his son.


“I am ashamed of Abdelhamid, my son, why would he want to kill innocent Belgians, our family owes everything to this country.”

Abdelhamid Abaaoud, a 28-year-old Belgian national who featured prominently in Islamic State propaganda this year, is suspected by European authorities of being one of the masterminds of the Paris terrorist attacks.

A report from Belgium said Islamic State’s magazine Dabiq, which was distributed over social media, featured him in an edition that came out in February.

“In one photo he is smiling, wearing military fatigues and holding an assault rifle.

“In a second, he stands in front of an armoured car and holds the black Islamic State flag and a copy of the Koran,” it said.
