Salah Abdeslam (born 15 September 1989) is a Belgian-born Frenchman, a known criminal, and a terrorism suspect. He rented a car used to drive the attackers to the Bataclan theatre preceding the November 2015 Paris attacks, in which 130 people were killed and 368 others were injured. Soon after the details of the attacks became public, he was billed by some newspapers as Public Enemy No. 1, or as "the most wanted" for crimes by the authorities in Europe. Having escaped and subsequently evaded the police authorities, he is "the target of one of the largest manhunts in European history." Abdeslam is known to have had contacts or social links to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, since the ISIL organization subsequently made a claim of responsibility for the attack. Of the men known to be involved in the attacks, he is the only one presumed to be still alive. ==Personal background== Salah Abdeslam was born on 15 September 1989 in Brussels. Abdeslam and Abdelhamid Abaaoud were friends as children, when both were living in Sint-Jans-Molenbeek. According to his brother Mohammed, Salah Abdeslam had been married at some point in his life and had subsequently divorced.〔 Abdeslam was employed by STIB-MIVB as a mechanic from September 2009 to 2011.〔 His employment was terminated due to his repeated absences. According to one source, Abdeslam was already known to police authorities as a person involved in so-called "small-time" crimes. Another states that both he and Abaaoud were imprisoned for armed robbery during 2010.〔 According to the lawyer representing Abaaoud, Abaaoud and Salah Abdeslam were arrested during December 2010 for attempting to break into a parking garage. The New Zealand Herald states Salah Abdeslam was convicted in February 2011 for breaking and entering. From December 2013, Abdeslam was manager of a bar named Les Béguines in Molenbeek, in the west of Brussels, after his brother Brahim took over the license (10 March 2013). Most of the bar's customers were of Magrebian origin. The bar was closed when authorities discovered that hallucinogenic substances were being used there.〔 The bar was named after the Beguines order of women, who originated in Belgium in 1200 A.D., and were supporters of religious reform. Salah Abdeslam apparently used to spend a large amount of time playing games on a PlayStation console while at Les Béguines.〔 Customers of a gay bar in Brussels told the British ''Sunday Times'' that Abdeslam had been a frequent visitor, and had been a reputed user of cannabis in addition to drinking alcohol while at the bar. Both Salah Abdeslam and his brother Brahim Abdeslam were living together in Brussels, a few months before the attacks. According to a journalist reporting for the ''The Mail Online'', they were both questioned by Belgian authorities when one of the two attempted to travel to Syria, and both were subsequently released. An official for the federal prosecutor's office of Belgium apparently stated to ''Politico'' that both were already known to have been radicalized.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Salah Abdeslam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
