Attack in France: The family of a young Tunisian man accused of attacking the Basilica of Nicea in France, shocked by his act, described a young man who gradually isolated himself and converted to religion about two years ago, but finds it hard to believe. who even killed three people inside a church.
“It is not normal,” his brother Yassin repeated, emphasizing that he could not understand how Brahim Isaoui, who had just turned 21, did this.
Brahim comes from a large and poor family with 11 children, eight girls and three boys. He lived with his parents in a modest house in a popular neighborhood on the outskirts of the city of Sfax in central Tunis.
According to the Tunisian authorities, the young man was not suspected of terrorist activity. But the authorities knew him for common criminal law offenses, such as violence and drugs, according to Mohsen Daly, deputy prosecutor general at the Tunis Court of First Instance. “He left the country illegally on September 14,” he added.
Brahim called his family on Wednesday night and told them he had just arrived in France. In Italy, where he stayed for about a month and a half after sailing the Mediterranean, he worked picking olives with a cousin. “He said that in France it was better for the job and that in Italy there were a lot of people,” Yassin said.
His mother, Gamra, with tears in her eyes, holds the photo of her son. Brahim dropped out of school in his freshman year of high school and got a job repairing motorcycles. After reserving some money, he opened a small illegal gas station, like those in many Tunisian communities. “I told him to rent a small space for 1,100-1,200 dinars (about 400 euros) so that he could work. He replied that he would set up a hut to sell gasoline. “
He prayed and had no company
“For about two years,” he isolated himself and began to pray, added the mother. “He went home from work, didn’t go out, and didn’t hang out with others.” Previously, I used to come home drunk. “He drank alcohol and took drugs. I told him, do we have needs and are you wasting money? He replied that” God willing, he will lead me on the right path, he is taking care of me. “
This change, however, does not explain how he became a murderer, Aida, one of his sisters, commented doubtfully. “We are a poor family but our brother does not kill, he is not a terrorist, he is not an extremist. “We want you to help us discover the truth,” he said, referring to “the families of the victims.”
“If it really did, then someone else is behind it,” he added.
“The whole family is shocked.” We are all against terrorism and we feel disgraced by these acts. “
Brahim had tried other times to reach Italy, but without success. According to his brother, he did not inform his relatives that he would be leaving.
The young man is believed to have killed three people with a knife inside a church in Nice, France. He is being treated for serious injuries after he was shot by French police.
