Father says French train attacker was 'good boy'

London

The father of a Moroccan man accused of a foiled attack on a crowded Amsterdam-Paris train described his son as a "good boy" who worked hard and never talked politics.

"I have no idea what he was thinking and I have not spoken to him for over a year," Mohamed El Khazzani told British newspaper The Telegraph in Algeciras in Spain.

"He was a good boy, very hardworking."

The suspected gunman "never talked politics; just football and fishing," his father told the Telegraph, breaking into sobs.
