Twenty men have been found guilty of involvement in the 2015 terrorist attacks in France on the Bataclan theatre, Paris cafes and national stadium that killed 130 people. Salah Abdeslam, the lone surviving attacker from the atrocities, has been convicted of terrorist murder and sentenced to life without parole.
Presiding judge Jean-Louis Peries read the verdicts in a courthouse surrounded by unprecedented security, wrapping up a nine-month trial. Of the defendants besides Abdeslam, 18 were handed various terrorism-related convictions, and one was convicted on a lesser fraud charge.
Among the victims of the deadliest peacetime attacks in French history - carried out by the so-called Islamic State group - was Briton Nick Alexander, 35, of Weeley, near Colchester. Mr Alexander died at the Bataclan concert hall, where he was selling merchandise for the band Eagles Of Death Metal.
