(The Local) The ex-mentor of one of the gunmen who killed 12 in Paris has condemned the massacre, pleading with people not to connect it with the Islamic community.
The former Islamist mentor of Cherif Kouachi, one of the gunmen who killed 12 people at France’s Charlie Hebdo magazine, has described it as “the worst crime a Muslim could commit”.
Farid Benyettou, a 33-year-old who says he has left behind his radical past, also revealed that when he had seen Kouachi two months ago “the only thing he wanted to talk about was fighting”.
