Paris attacks verdict: 'I still don't have closure on my brother's death'
Nathalie Dubois describes the affect her brother's death had on her family and says the sentences haven't given her closure, but are a "step towards being at peace in some way".
The terror attacks in Paris that took place on 13 November 2015 claimed 130 lives. A court has found the only survivor of the group who carried out attacks聽guilty of terrorism and murder. Salah Abdeslam has been sentenced to a full life term in prison. Eighteen other men were also convicted for their roles in the killings.
Nathalie Dubois' brother Fabrice was one of the victims of the attacks. She gave Newshour's James Menendez her reaction to the sentences from Los Angeles where she now lives. She describes the affect the attack and her brother's death had on her family, and says that the sentences haven't given her closure, but are a "step towards being at peace in some way". She testified at court last October, and says it was one of the toughest things that she has ever had to do, as Salah Abdeslam was also in court, and so close to her that she could hear him breathing.
"It's not closure, but it's a step towards being at peace in some way."
