French court begins trial of man who provided aid to jihadists in 2015
A French court began proceedings against one of the collaborators with the jihadists who attacked in France 3 years ago:
The first trial related to the 2015 deadly Islamic State attacks on Paris opened on Wednesday after initial concerns that a national protest by prison guards would block a suspect’s transfer to the Paris court house.It's all part of the wolf-in-sheep's-clothing act.
There were fears Jawad Bendaoud — accused of helping two of the attackers, including the suspected ringleader, hide from police when they were the most wanted men in France — couldn’t attend the trial after guards protesting over prison working conditions blocked the entrance of the Fresnes prison, south of Paris.
But police managed to clear the main access point to the prison, and Bendaoud appeared calm and concentrated as the much-awaited trial got underway.
The Nov. 13, 2015, attacks on Paris cafes, the national stadium and the Bataclan concert hall left 130 people dead in the country’s deadliest extremist violence since World War II. The Islamic State group claimed responsibility.That's not enough. Such material support has to include a life sentence, or better yet, the death sentence. If they fail to hand him that, they've failed tons of people who lost their lives because of the Hollande government's incompetence, and come to think of it, Sarkozy's incompetence too.
Bendaoud, an outspoken 31-year-old with a criminal record, provided lodging to the two attackers, but has claimed he didn’t know they were two of the Paris attackers or even wanted extremists. He faces up to six years in prison if convicted.
