The mastermind of the Paris terror attacks was linked to at least six radical preachers from the UK, including an ISIS bomb maker, it has been reported.

Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the ringleader of the Paris massacres, was said to have ties to banned Islamist group Sharia4Belgium which recruited young men from the deprived Molenbeek neighbourhood where he grew up.

He was riddled with bullets and blown apart by grenades in a special forces raid on his hideout in the run down Paris suburb of Saint Denis on Wednesday.

Fouad Belkacem, the radical preacher who founded Sharia4Belgium, recruited several UK based fanatics to help him promote sharia law on the streets of Belgium and help sneak members into Syria, it has been claimed.

Belkacem and 45 Sharia4Belgium members were convicted terrorism offences in February. The group sent its recruits to fight with extremist groups including ISIS in Syria, prosecutors said.

One of the men Belkacem approached was London based preacher Omar Bakri Muhammad, who was banned from the UK in 2005 and later jailed for terror related offences in Lebanon, Dipesh Gadher of the Sunday Times reported.

Known as the 'Tottenham Ayatollah', Muhammad was tasked with helping Sharia4Belgium transport its radicalised members to Syria, it was claimed.

Another preacher, who said Belkacem was a 'dear friend' of his, was asked to help 'start something in Belgium', it was reported.

Footage is said to show three other UK based terrorists travelling to Belgium to meet up with Sharia4Belgium members.

One of those men is believed to be Abu Rahin Aziz, who learned bomb making skills in ISIS's de facto capital of Raqqa in Syria. He is said to have travelled to Belgium to help Sharia4Belgium promote its fundamental views.

Aziz, a father of two from Luton, met Paris attacks ringleader Abaaoud in Syria and regularly threatened to attack the West on Twitter before he was killed in a U.S. drone strike in July.

Another man seen in the footage obtained by the Sunday Times was Asfor Ali, 27, who once posted a YouTube video warning of a terror attack on the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

He was jailed for 31 months in August after being found guilty of three counts of possessing terrorist material.

The third man in the video is said to be Saiful Islam, who is said to have praised slain Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

Sharia4Belgium also asked for help from hate preacher Omar Bakri Muhammad (pictured), who was banned from the UK in 2005 and later jailed for terror related offences in Lebanon

Another fanatic, who has not been named, is said to have taught 'military tactics' to Sharia4Belgium members.

Belkacem, 32, was sentenced to 12 years in prison in February in one of Belgium’s biggest terrorism trials.
