The French television channel M6 has been criticised for broadcasting video footage from last November's terrorist attacks in Paris showing a suicide bomber blowing himself up in a busy café, reports The Independent.
Thirty-one-year-old Ibrahim Abdeslam killed himself in the Comptoir Voltaire cafe on 13 November, at the same as other attackers began the mass shooting in the nearby Bataclan theatre. Abdeslam's bomb injured 20 people, one seriously.
The footage, from a security camera inside the cafe, was broadcast during a special edition of the programme Zone Interdite on Sunday evening covering the attacks. It provoked shock among the two-million-strong audience, with some viewers tweeting that they thought the show went too far.
In the clip, Abdeslam is seen in a series of camera stills entering the enclosed terrace of the cafe, the walking into the middle of the small area, with around ten customers visible sitting at tables. He appears to raise his hand to his forehead, then the footage briefly shows the explosion.
