Paris-Sana
The French government revoked its citizenship from a dual French national in connection with terrorist organizations in Syria.
Faisal Ait Messaoud, 23, of Moroccan origin, was convicted of trying to join terrorist organizations in Syria after a few days of attacks on French weekly Charlie Hebdo and sentenced to four years in prison.
According to a decree issued in the Official Gazette yesterday, according to Agence France-Presse that Massoud born near Paris stripped of French citizenship.
Faisal Ait Messaoud was sentenced in March 2018 along with three other Frenchmen, two men and a woman, after they tried to reach Syria to join terrorist organizations through Turkey, which served as the headquarters and main passage for foreign terrorists to reach Syrian territory.
Twelve people, including two policemen, were killed and several others injured in 2015 after an armed attack with a machine gun and a rocket launcher targeting Charlie Hebdo newspaper and a Paris store.
