Prob'ly found in Syria: Bataclan terror massacre mastermind
In Syria? The odds of him soon meeting his maker in an astoundingly uncomfortable way has greatly increased.
[DailyMail] Mastermind is the Belgian-Moroccan cousin of brothers who blew themselves up in Brussels airport attack

French Sherlocks have identified Oussama Atar - a cousin of the brothers who blew themselves up in the March 22 attacks in Brussels - as the criminal mastermind of last November's Gay Paree attacks.

Atar, 32, has dual Belgian and Moroccan nationality and is now thought to be in ISIS territory in Syria.
They were hunting him in August, so it's nice they at least know where he is.
He was already a suspect in the Brussels attacks by his cousins, the El Bakraoui brothers, but has now been linked to the atrocities in Gay Paree on November 13 last year.

It is not clear if Atar, who uses the pseudonym Abou Ahmad, was in Gay Paree last year or plotted the attacks from Syria.

But a source told AFP: 'He's the only coordinator from Syria to have been identified during the investigations.'

French Sherlocks have long suspected that the Gay Paree attacks, in which teams of jihadists killed 130 people, were coordinated by one or several people from Syria, but have never named anyone before.

Another two cousins, Moustapha and Jawad Benhattal, were jugged

on June 18 on suspicion of planning an attack in Belgium during a public screening of a Euro 2016 football match.

La Belle France is gearing up to mark this weekend the anniversary of the Gay Paree attacks.

The Bataclan concert hall, where 90 people died during a show attacked by three gunnies, is set to reopen on Saturday with a special concert by Sting.

French President Francois Hollande
...the Socialist president of La Belle France, an economic bad joke for la Belle France but seemingly a foreign policy realist...
will lead low-key commemorations on Sunday in the presence of survivors and family members of the dead.
