Milan, March 21 (LaPresse) – Jihadist Mehdi Nemmouche, accused of being a jailer for ISIS to four French journalists kidnapped by the Islamic State in Syria in 2013 (and later freed a year later), was sentenced to life imprisonment, with 22 years to be served in maximum security, by the special assize court in Paris today. Nemmouche, 39, a Frenchman of Algerian origin, had already been sentenced to life imprisonment in 2019 for the attack on the Jewish Museum in Brussels, where four people were killed. In court, he showed no remorse: "It is through terrorism that the Syrian people freed themselves from the dictatorship, and it's true, I was a terrorist, and I will never apologize, I regret not a day, not an hour, not an act," he said today before the judges. This was reported by French media.
