NEW: Foued Mohamed-Aggad's father says his son was brainwashed
French media name the 23-year-old as the third attacker at the Bataclan
He was born and grew up in France and traveled to Syria in 2013
ParisCNN
—
A shaken father told reporters Wednesday that he never knew his son had returned to France after a stint in Syria.
If he’d found out, Said Mohamed-Aggad said he wouldn’t have let his son join the ranks of attackers who unleashed carnage at the Bataclan theater in Paris last month.
“I would have killed him beforehand,” he said in an interview with French media that aired on CNN affiliate BFMTV.
Instead, Foued Mohamed-Aggad, a 23-year-old from eastern France who traveled to Syria two years ago, blew himself up.
His name was first reported Wednesday by CNN affiliates BFMTV and France 2, who described him as the third gunman who stormed the Eagles of Death Metal concert as part of a series of shootings and explosions in Paris on November 13. The attackers sprayed gunfire and slaughtered people inside the concert hall for 20 horrific minutes. Ninety people were killed.
A radio reporter who attended the Bataclan concert described the attackers there as calm and determined, telling CNN they reloaded their weapons three or four times.
President Barack Obama paid a midnight tribute to the victims last week, laying a single white rose at the Bataclan.
Besides Mohamed-Aggad, the other attackers at the theater had also traveled to war zones in the Middle East. They were Samy Amimour, a 28-year-old from Paris who fought in Yemen, and Omar Ismail Mostefai, a 29-year-old from Courcouronnes, a Paris suburb, who traveled to Syria in 2013.
“We ask ourselves the question every day: What happened, why?” Amimour’s sister, Anna, told CNN’s Hala Gorani late last month. “He was in the same womb as me. We grew up together, so how did our paths end up so far apart?”
CNN’s Sandrine Amiel reported from Paris. CNN’s Don Melvin reported from London and CNN’s Catherine E. Shoichet reported from Atlanta. CNN’s Pierre Meilhan contributed to this report.
