PARIS: French authorities have filed terror charges against two men from Pakistan and Alegria who are suspected of being members of the Islamic State cell that massacred 130 people in Paris last November. The 29-year-old Algerian Adel Haddadi and the 35-year-old Pakistani Mohamad Usman were charged on Friday with “criminal conspiracy with terrorists”, a judicial source told AFP. Usman is reportedly thought to be a bomb-maker for Pakistani extremist organisations, including Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). The men were turned over to France by Austrian authorities on Friday.
