SAMY AMIMOUR, ONE of the men that massacred 90 people at the Bataclan music venue in Paris, has been buried north of the city according to local officials.
The 28-year-old was buried last Thursday in Seine-Saint-Denis suburb of Paris, where he grew up and his parents still live.
“There were very, very few people there,” said a source in the local town hall.
Amimour was previously a bus driver before spending around two years in Syria, according to family members who spoke to AFP in October, prior to the brutal attacks in Paris.
He was one of three attackers killed when police stormed the Bataclan music venue on 13 November.
Three other jihadists blew themselves up outside the Stade de France stadium, and another exploded his suicide vest outside a bar not far from the Bataclan.
