Separately, a Greek police source said they had not yet matched the second person to refugee application records.

It said his details were the same as those of a man who had registered in Greece on October 3, after landing on the island of Leros.

The owner was allowed to proceed because he passed what is essentially the only test in place, he had no worldwide arrest warrant against him, police in both states said today. But the source urged against drawing conclusions, saying authorities had not established that Mohammad was one of the three suicide bombers who blew themselves up outside the stadium.

A spokesman for Rastplatz said the footage could be of one of the attackers – adding: ‘There are unconfirmed reports that one of the attackers in Paris is seen in this video.

To those who have doubts about Syrians after the French attacks, Mr Dawood says: “A terrorist is a terrorist”. Most asylum seekers entering Germany have done so through the southern state.
