Samy Amimour, one of the men who massacred 90 people at the Bataclan music venue in Paris, was buried north of the city, local officials say.

The 28-year-old was buried on Thursday in Seine-Saint-Denis suburb of Paris, where he grew up and his parents still live.

“There were very, very few people there,” said a source in the local town hall.

Amimour was previously a bus driver before spending around two years in Syria, according to family members who spoke to AFP in October, prior to the brutal attacks in Paris.

He was one of three attackers killed when police stormed the Bataclan music venue on November 13.
