The ex-wife of Paris bomber Ibrahim Abdeslam felt no loss upon news of his death. Instead, naima, aged 36, said that the bomber never went to the mosque as one would expect from a faithful muslim and served two prison sentences for theft.
Naima said that her marriage had been unhappy and childless because Ibrahib would spend his days smoking dope and boozing. Unemployed, he was too lazy to get a job.
Upon hearing of his death, she told to the Sun, stating: “I have no explanation. I am shocked. It’s possible it was the hash, anything is possible!”
Naima had met her ex-husband in a bar in Brussels. “He would take me out to a restaurant or to the cinema or we listened to Arabic music. I was happy and in love.” Their wedding was a small affair with first-degree family members absent. She states that Ibrahim’s family was not especially close and his brother Salah Abdeslam, also involved in the attacks, didn’t attend.
The couple split in 2008 after two years of marriage and officially divorced in 2013.
She says that they had no contact after the official divorce and states he became radicalized after they split and spent time in Syria.
