One of the suicide bombers at the Stade de France in the northern suburb of St. Denis had been identified from a Syrian passport found near his body as Ahmad al-Mohammad, though it was not clear whether the passport was genuine, or had been stolen.

Two of the jihadists who blew themselves up at France’s national stadium in Paris last week passed through Greece posing as refugees.
Paris police have posted this picture of a man they said was the third suicide bomber who detonated his explosive vest outside the Stade de France soccer stadium during the Paris terror attacks. Investigators are still trying to figure out whether the passport was real or fake and whether it did belong to the attacker.
French national Bilal Hadfi is the only person who has been identified so far.
The BBC looked at the arrival papers of a man called M al Mahmod, who arrived at the Island of Leros on October 3, and discovered that the picture is identical to the photo released by the French police.
The terrorists wanted to actually cause a massacre in the stadium, but did not come into it. 130 people were killed in the terrorist attacks in Paris. Jawad Bendaoud told a French television station he had been asked to put two people up in his apartment for three days, but had no idea they had anything to do with terrorism. Then they must be charged or released.
But Greek officials denied on November 29 that Abdelhamid Abaaoud, named as the alleged ringleader of the Paris attacks, had been in Greece.
French media reported nine people carried out the atrocities, but only seven died on the Friday night.
One of his conspirators in the attacks, Salah Abdeslam, is still on the run and the subject of an global manhunt.
