Fabien Clain, was identified as the voice in an audio recording claiming responsibility for the 2015 Paris attacks. He was a seasoned jihadist who grew up in Normandy but cut his teeth in the southern French city of Toulouse. In the audio, Clain's triumphant voice says "eight brothers wearing explosive belts and carrying assault rifles" conducted a "blessed attack on... Crusader France." In April 2015 Le Monde daily revealed that Clain was suspected of instigating a foiled attack on a church in a southern Paris suburb. The attack was thwarted when the assailant, Algerian student Sid Ahmed Ghlam, accidentally shot himself in the leg.
