PARIS (Reuters) - The brother of one of the Islamist attackers who killed 130 people in Paris was sentenced to nine years jail on Wednesday for travelling to Syria to train as a militant fighter.

Karim Mohammed-Aggad was one of a group tried over a trip to Syria in December 2013. His brother Foued was one of the three men who killed 90 people in the Bataclan rock concert hall as part of a broader assault in and around Paris that killed 130 in all in November 2012.
