The leader of the terrorist attacks in Paris planned attacks on Jewish targets, schools and the transport system in France after the massacre, according to sources familiar with the investigation.
Abdelhamid Abaud, a Belgian citizen of Moroccan origin, also boasted about the ease with which he re-entered Europe via Syria, two months before the attack, using the chaos caused by the refugee crisis, reports Index.hr.
According to Reuters, according to secret police reports leaked to the French press this Sunday, one of the witnesses interviewed describes how Abaud sought the help of Hasna Ait Bulahecen's cousin two days after the attack, asking her to hide him while he prepares new actions.
Speaking about his future plans, he told a relative on November 15 that he would "do worse damage in neighborhoods close to Jews and disrupt transportation and schools," the witness said, according to Index.
Abaud intended to give a relative 5.000 euros to buy two suits and two pairs of shoes for him and an unidentified accomplice in the planned attacks on the Paris commercial district of La Defense, Paris prosecutor Francois Molin confirmed on Tuesday.
According to witness statements, the criminal bragged about the way he entered the EU and the fact that he stayed in France for two months undetected, so he rated the security in France as "zero".
The Paris prosecutor's office announced on Friday that it will launch a preliminary investigation into how confidential witness statements from the investigation found their way to the press.
