Paris: The Paris prosecutor’s office said on Monday that two more suicide bombers involved in deadly attacks in the French capital have been identified.
An Islamic State (IS) jihadi has been named as the alleged ringleader of the Paris attacks, as questions mounted about how the terrorists evaded detection.
Amimour was one of the Bataclan concert hall bombers.
An attacker who blew himself up outside the national soccer stadium was found with a Syrian passport with the name Ahmad Al Mohammad, a 25-year-old born in Idlib, the prosecutor’s office said. Fingerprints from the attacker match those of someone who passed through Greece in October, they added.
French investigators believe that a Moroccan-origin Belgian Jihadist, Abdelhamid Abaaoud was behind the planning of the attack. He is said to have been stopped hours after the attacks near the Belgian border with two other men but all three were released.
According to Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack on Friday and has also led to the mobilization of 1115,000 security personnel.
Overnight raids conducted around France saw a number of individuals detained and dozens of weapons seized. These actions will continue. Authorities have described the suspect as as 26 year old, 5 feet 7 inches tall and “dangerous”. Seven people have so far been taken into custody.
