Biography[]
Foued Mohamed-Aggad was born on September 18, 1992 in Strasbourg, France to a family of Sunni Muslims. He became a radicalized Islamist, and in late 2013 he informed his family that he was going to become a suicide bomber in Iraq and would not return home. Mohamed-Aggad, his brother, and a group of Strasbourg friends headed to Syria and fought in the Syrian Civil War, and he later returned home to carry out terrorist attacks. On 13 November 2015, Mohamed-Aggad, Samy Amimour, and Omar Ismael Mostefai took hostages in the Bataclan theater in Paris and killed 89 people in a massacre there. However, French police eventually stormed the theater, and two attackers detonated suicide belts while one was shot before he could do so.
