2 more Paris attackers identified

One of the suicide bombers in the Paris attack had featured in a previous terrorism investigation but slipped through the net, it has emerged.

A suicide bomber who blew himself up outside the Stade de France stadium is believed to be Syrian Ahmad Al Mohammad from Idlib.

Prime Minister Manuel Valls warned France could be hit by new violence but said the Islamic State, which has claimed responsibility for the attacks in retaliation for French airstrikes in Iraq and Syria, would never win.

A French official also said on Monday that the suspected mastermind of the Paris attacks was also linked to thwarted train and church attacks.

He was involved in the massacre of 89 people in the Bataclan concert hall, one of a spate of attacks on Friday which left 129 dead and hundreds injured.

Prosecutors say three people in Amimour’s family entourage have been in custody since early Monday.

Belgian police have made at least seven arrests of people with suspected links to the attackers in Paris. He had been placed under judicial supervision but dropped off the radar and was the subject of an worldwide arrest warrant.

Abdelhamid Abaaoud, a known extremist, has been identified as the mastermind of Friday’s terrorist attacks in Paris.

Prosecutors said one of the killers had been stopped and fingerprinted in Greece last month, fuelling speculation the Islamic State had taken advantage of the recent influx of refugees fleeing the Middle East to slip militants into Europe.
