8. Salim Benghalem
In early January of 2016, a Paris court convicted Benghalem of recruiting other ISIS forces, carrying out executions on behalf of the group, and involvement in illegal violent activity on French soil. It is understood by experts that he left for Syria in 2013, adding to the list of French nationalists that have turned into ISIS extremists. He is most prominently recognized for his involvement in the Paris attacks in 2015, and appeared in an ISIS propaganda video in which he praised the killers in France and urged others to take on similarly organized attacks on civilians. He has also been linked to the French national ISIS extremist, Medhi Nemmouche, who was found to have murdered 4 innocent civilians at a Jewish museum in Brussels in early 2014. He played a prominent role in jailing and torturing prisoners held by the ISIS regime, performing brutal atrocities to spread the message of terror across the world.
