One of suspects in Paris attacks once passed from Greece

A Syrian passport has been found near the body of one of the suicide bombers who blew himself up on Friday near a Paris soccer stadium, sources close the investigation of the deadly attacks in Paris said.

“We do not know if the passport was checked by other countries through which the holder likely passed”, Citizen Protection Minister Nikos Toskas, who is in charge of police forces, said in a statement obtained by the Associated Press and Reuters.

An Egyptian passport was also found near the body of another one of the suicide bombers at the Stade de France.

According to Belgian broadcaster RTBF, local authorities have refused to confirm or deny the raids, but reporters have witnessed raids at three buildings.

According to unconfirmed Greek government sources French authorities requested earlier on Saturday information from Athens on two suspects following the attacks which have left more than 120 dead and 200 injured. The gunman apparently was from the Courcouronnes suburb, which is around 20 miles south of Paris.

Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the multiple attacks across the capital – and has warned that France would remain at the “top of the list of targets” over its airstrikes on IS territory in Syria and Iraq.

If one or more of the attackers turn out to have come into Europe amongst the migrants arriving from war-torn countries this could change the political and security debate about refugees and what to do with them.
