One of the ISIS killers who massarced 90 people at the Bataclan music hall during the Paris terror attacks has been buried in an unmarked grave.
Local officials confirmed that Samy Amimour was buried on Thursday in Seine-Saint-Denis, a suburb to the north of Paris, where he grew up and his parents still live.
According to reports in the French media, only a few people attended the ceremony which was held in private. It is thought that his parents took precautions to ensure that the burial plot could not be identified after fears it could become a shrine or target for attacks.
A source in the local town hall said: 'There were very, very few people there.'
French law gives individuals the right to a burial either in their area of residence, the area they died, or where their family has a collective plot.
Amimour was previously a bus driver before spending around two years in Syria, according to family members who spoke prior to the brutal attacks in Paris. He was one of three attackers killed when police stormed the Bataclan music venue on November 13.
Three other jihadists blew themselves up outside the Stade de France stadium, and another exploded his suicide vest outside a bar not far from the Bataclan. Out of the eight Paris attackers, seven blew themselves up during the attacks but one, Salah Abdeslam, is believed to be still on the run.
After the Paris attacks, Amimour's sister spoke out confessing that their family ask themselves every day what they did wrong and how they could have prevented Amimour's involvement in the attack.
