According to The Daily Telegraph (UK), she said her son did not set out to kill anyone, and that everything just happened due to "stress". Abdeslam, 31, blew himself up outside the cafe Comptoir Voltaire, during the devastating attacks on the French capital on the night of Friday, November 14.

The woman who spoke outside the family home in Molenbeek, Belgium, said Ibrahim's suicide vest may have exploded by accident since he "had not planned to kill anyone". She also revealed she had been "surprised" three of her sons were involved.

"This was not his plan, that's for sure. The fact that his suicide belt exploded without killing anyone says a lot. We even saw him two days before the attacks. There were no signs that they had plans to do anything violent," she said.

Another family member at the brothers' home added: "Maybe the explosives went off prematurely by accident. Maybe it was stress," according to MailOnline.

Ibrahim was identified as the driver of a rented seat car found abandoned with a stock of Kalashnikovs in the back after the attacks. It was used by terrorists who murdered diners outside the Casa Nostra pizza restaurant and the La Belle Équipe cafe. He detonated his vest in a solo attack outside Cafe Voltaire, killing himself and injuring another person.
