Sole surviving attacker in 2015 Paris terrorism rampage is convicted

The lone surviving member of a group that carried out a 2015 rampage across Paris was found guilty Wednesday of all charges, including murder and terrorism, and sentenced to life in prison, bringing the biggest criminal trial in modern French history to an end.

The court found that Salah Abdeslam played a key role among the men who deployed explosives and assault rifles as they targeted the Bataclan concert venue, a national stadium, and several restaurants and cafes on the night of Nov. 13, 2015, killing 130 people and injuring hundreds. The Islamic State later claimed responsibility for the bloodshed, France’s worst terrorist attacks since World War II.
