Paris Attacks Brahim Abdeslam blows himself up with suicide bomb in restaurant
The final moments of suicide bomber Brahim Abdeslam, 31, were captured by cameras at the Comptoir Voltaire brasserie on November 13 last year.
A series of co-ordinated attacks across the French capital saw 130 people murdered last November.
Abdeslam, a French passport holder who was brought up in Brussels, is seen walking into the restaurant at 9.40pm.
He wanders through the door after being dropped off by a car outside.
The terrorist walks towards an empty table, before lowering his head, covering his head with his left hand, and then detonating his suicide belt.
There is a cloud of white smoke, and Abdeslam's torso can momentarily be seen separating from the lower half of his body.

So little was left of Abdeslam's body, forensic officers had to rely on a tiny portion of fingerprint to identity him
He is killed instantly but - incredibly - others sitting around him escaped with relatively minor injuries.

Film was then released to the French media, with a warning that it was not suitable for young children, and then appeared on numerous news and social media sites.
Abdeslam was the brother of Salah Abdeslam, 26, who escaped Paris after failing to detonate his own suicide belt at the Stade de France, during a football friendly between France and Germany.

Salah Abdeslam was finally captured in Brussels last month, just before accomplices killed 32 people during another series of ISIS attacks in the Belgian capital.
The last known of remains of Brahim Abdeslam were placed in a coffin and lowered into the ground at a ceremony in the district of Schaerbeek days before his brother was arrested.
Salah Abdeslam is now due to be extradicted back to Paris, where he is expected to stand trial for mass murder, and terrorist crimes.
