Islamic State terrorists were high on drugs during Paris attacks?

November 19, 2015 08:23

The drug history of Paris attacks suspects is fuelling speculation that the Islamic State jihadis were 'high on drugs' as they carried out the deadly attacks.

Ibrahim Abdeslam, who blew himself up at a French cafe on Friday, owned a bar in Belgium that shut down two weeks ago after it became a house of drug addicts.

Police officers recovered found syringes, a short set of needles and plastic tubes from the Paris hotel room that the 26-year-old had booked for the terrorists. Police are trying to figure out if it was drug paraphernalia or bomb-building gear linked to the killers' explosive-packed belts.
