Bataclan bomber was previously arrested on terror charge

Paris-born Samy Amimour, 28, had been charged with terrorist offences “after an abortive attempt to travel to Yemen”, Paris prosecutors said, but his family said he travelled to Syria in 2013.

Also last night, two explosions were heard outside the Stade de France stadium north of Paris during a France-Germany friendly football match.

Ahmad Al Mohammad, 25, was reportedly identified as the bomber who blew himself up outside the national soccer stadium, and was found with a Syrian passport on his name.

An official was reported to have said that Omar Ismail Mostefai was identified as a possible “terror suspect” in October 2014, with French authorities said to have been alerted in December 2014 and in June 2015.

The prosecutor’s office said his fingerprints matched those of someone who passed through Greece in October.

French authorities missed an opportunity to detain him when he was questioned and released just hours after the carnage in Paris.

Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel said at least one of those held in Molenbeek was thought to have spent the previous night in Paris.

The jets launched from sites in Jordan and the Persian Gulf, in co-ordination with USA forces.

Amimour was placed under judicial supervision, but dropped off authorities’ radar in 2013 and an global arrest warrant was issued.

Pressed for a strong answer to the Islamic State group’s attacks in Paris, the world’s top industrial and developing nations are set to outline their coordinated response to what President Barack Obama has… The arrest warrant for Salah Abdeslam, a 26-year-old born in Brussels, calls him very risky and warns people not to intervene if they see him.

He was one of the terrorists inside the Bataclan, where a rock concert was taking place, and had been flagged for links to Islamic radicalism.

Yet police already had him in their grasp early on Saturday, when they stopped a vehicle carrying three men near the Belgian border. A Brussels parking ticket found inside led police to at least one of the arrests in Belgium, a French police official said.
