20 Men Convicted in November 2015 Paris Terrorist Attack
(New York Times) Constant Meheut - Twenty men were convicted on Wednesday for their roles in a coordinated spree of Islamist shootings and bombings in November 2015 that killed 130 people in and near Paris and injured more than 500. The assailants were mostly French citizens who, in a carefully orchestrated plot, had traveled to Islamic State-controlled territory in Syria for military training. Prosecutors were unable to determine where most of the weapons used in the attack had been acquired, or whether the Islamic State had planned other attacks in Paris or at the Amsterdam airport, as suggested by documents later found by investigators.
