Radicalized Inmate Faces Life Sentence for Prison Terror Attack on Guards

Throughout the investigation, Bilal Taghi, tried for a terrorist attack by the special assize court, admitted the facts. However, he does not regret his act or perhaps one, that of not having succeeded in making more victims, reports 20minutes.fr.

Sentenced to five years in prison for radicalization, the young Bilal who has fallen into radical Islam, under the influence of his two brothers who left for Syria, attacked, seven months after his conviction, two guards with a knife he had made himself.

At the bar, he claimed to be no longer the same and tried to prove that he was finally deradicalized thanks to a psychologist from the prison in Moulins, in the Allier.

For his part, the public prosecutor is skeptical about the remorse expressed by Bilal Taghi, "I keep in me the memory of seeing you cry throughout the trial," he had told the accused. This is the same lawyer who was tasked with demanding in 2016, when he was prosecuted before the criminal court for attempted rallying to Syria.

The public prosecutor certainly has not forgotten the accused’s art of deception. "How can one cry like that and lie at the same time?" he wondered at the time. Last Tuesday, Bilal did it again: "Damn, I’m sorry," he stammered, between sobs, before sitting heavily back in the box, reports the same media.
