Second Paris attacker likely to have crossed Greece – gov’t sources

Officials are not ruling out that the passport changed hands before the attacks.

The indiscriminate taking of so many lives squeezed life out of Paris itself.

Alain Gresh, editor of the French Le Monde Diplomatique magazine, said that he expected critics to start speaking out publicly about France’s foreign policies after a day or two of national mourning.

Others reported terrorists shouting “This is for Syria”.

New information emerging from the scene shows that one of the attackers at the stadium may have been French.

On Friday night, in three co-ordinated teams over around an hour and a half of attacks in Paris’ north and east, the attackers used Kalashnikov automatic weapons and then activated their explosive belts, packed with TATP explosive lined with bolts to increase their deadly effect. President Francois Hollande said the attacks amounted to an act of war against France.

Authorities say that the terrorist’s passport indicates that he had entered Europe in October of this year as a Syrian refugee.

Members from U2 pay homage to attacks’ victims near the Bataclan concert hall.

Sen. Charles E. Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Congress should require the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other counterterrorism officials certify their ability to vet refugees before the program goes into effect. Abdul Selam, 31, from Syria fears that refugees now “will be considered as probable attackers”.

Six relatives of Omar Mostefai, 29, a man identified as one of the attackers, have been taken into custody by police, Agence France-Presse reported Sunday, quoting a judicial source. The second vehicle, with Belgian plates, was seen near a cafe that was targeted.

Belgian minister of interior and security Jan Jambon said: “We are at war with ISIS”.

The corpses of all the assailants will be transferred to France’s Medico-Legal Institute (IML) where investigators hope they can be identified by DNA samples.

He said: “What better way to get a terrorist into the West amidst all this chaos?”

“They didn’t stop firing”, Pierre Janaszak, a radio presenter who was at the concert, told Agence France-Presse. “There was blood everywhere, corpses everywhere”. I won’t let them win.

ISIS made light of the West in its statement.

‘A group of believers from the soldiers of the Caliphate (may Allah strengthen and support it) set out targeting the capital of prostitution and vice…Paris, ‘ said the group in a statement.

Police were said to have discovered from his sat nav that he was en route to Paris.

“I would like to make this urgent plea to avoid drawing such swift links to the situation surrounding refugees”, Thomas de Maiziere said, noting that there have already been “appalling scales of attacks against asylum seekers and asylum seeker shelters”.

In step with increased diplomatic activity, the attacks appear likely to stiffen Western resolve to continue battlefield pressure against Islamic State – with the risk of being sucked further into the conflict.
