ISIS suicide bomber who attacked Paris owned a BAR despite alcohol being banned by Islam
A HYPOCRITICAL Islamic State (ISIS) suicide bomber involved in the deadly terror attack on Paris owned a BAR - despite alcohol being forbidden by Islam.
This bar was owned by one of the Paris suicide bombers
Ibrahim Abdeslam - one of three brothers implicated in Paris attacks - ran a bar in Molenbeek - a rundown district of Brussels in Belgium which has been described as a "breeding ground for jihadists".
Les Beguines bar, which served alcohol, was closed down on November 4 for drugs being taking on the premises , according to Le Parisien.
Abdeslam, 31, detonated his suicide vest outside the Comptoir Voltaire cafe on Friday night.
He had been previously linked to Abdelhamid Abaaoud - the suspected mastermind behind the Paris attacks.
Neighbours have said Abdeslam was not known for being overly religious and had owned the local bar which had become "a hideout for petty thugs" for about two years.
The bar was closed due to customers taking drugs on the premises
They were acting completely normal. I didn't notice anything
Residents had also repeatedly expressed concern to police over the bar where people would often gather to smoke joints.
A police raid took place on August 14, during which one policeman said "there was a strong smell of drugs".
Cigarette butts, including several unfinished joints, were found on tables inside, according to police.
Several customers were also searched and were "found in possession of drugs".
Abdeslam, who has French nationality, did not kill anyone by detonating his suicide vest on Boulevard Voltaire in the 11th arrondissement in Paris.
The suicide bomber's brothers - Brahim Abdeslam and Salah Abdeslam - were also involved in the attacks.

Salah Abdeslam, 26, is still on the run after helping to carry out the attack at the Bataclan theatre where 89 people were killed.
He is believed to have rented a car which was later found near the scene.
Mohammed Abdeslam was arrested by Belgian police in Molenbeek on Saturday - but was released without charge on Monday.

Residents of Molenbeek - which has become the centre of investigations into the Paris attacks - have expressed their shock that the Abdeslam brothers were involved in such a terrible atrocity.
Someone close to the Abdeslam brothers said they were still in Molenbeek the day before the attacks in the French capital.
He said: "They were acting completely normal. I didn't notice anything."
