Jihadists killed 130 people in shootings and suicide bombings in and around Paris on the night of November 13, 2015, with the Islamic State group claiming responsibility. The attackers killed around 90 people at the Bataclan concert hall, where the US band Eagles of Death Metal was playing. They ended the lives of dozens more at Parisian restaurants and cafes, and one person near the Stade de France football stadium just outside the capital, where crowds were watching France play Germany.

The Manchester synagogue terrorist was intimidating, aggressive and controlling but showed no sign of extremism before carrying out his lethal antisemitic attack, one of his wives has said. The woman, who married Jihad al-Shamie in an Islamic ceremony in 2021, said the 35-year-old was glued to his phone watching Arabic news channels but did not appear to be on the path to terror.

Hasan admitted to committing a grave crime, noting that three people died at his hands and others were seriously injured, highlighting the dire consequences of the attack.
