One of the Paris gunmen was a regular in Brussels’ gay bars, smoked cannabis and spent most of his days playing on his PlayStation, it has been claimed.
Salah Abdeslam, 26, Europe’s most wanted man, has been on the run ever since he took part in the massacre of 130 in Paris last Friday.
It has now emerged that Abdeslam, who was part of the terror cell that gunned down dozens of people in packed cafes and restaurants in Paris, smoked, drank and flirted with men at gay bars in Brussels’ Saint Jacques quarter.
‘We had him down as a rent boy, he was always hanging out with that kind of crowd,’ Julien, the bartender of a club visited by Abdeslam a month ago, told the Sunday Times.
The club’s owners, who wanted to remain anonymous, informed the police who are now trawling through CCTV footage of the area.
Abdeslam’s brother Ibrahim, who blew himself up outside the Comptoire Voltaire cafe, ran a bar in the Molenbeek district of Brussels, dubbed the ‘Jihadi capital of Europe’, their close friend Karim told the Sunday Times.
Karim said the bar was closed down a week before the Paris attacks because he used it as a den to sell drugs.
‘Brahim [Ibrahim] and Salah spent most of their days smoking hashish and playing on PlayStation in the bar,’ he said. ‘There was nothing to suggest they were radicalised.’
ISIS, which claimed to be behind the Paris attacks, has been known throw gay people to their death from high buildings.
