Passport Found at Attack Site Came Through Greece, Official Says

“We do not know if the passport was checked by other countries which are likely to be passed by the holder”, he continued.

French President Francois Hollande said ISIS group orchestrated the attacks, and ISIS has claimed responsibility.

Police did not say where exactly the passport was found, although they indicated a possible Syrian connection was a working hypothesis for investigators after assailants hit six separate locations in Paris late on Friday, killing 128.

Ya think? France has now closed its borders; look for other European states to follow – except of course Germany, where Mutti Merkel is hell-bent on destroying the Bundesrepublik once and for all.

Reports early on Saturday that one of the gunmen was found to have been carrying a Syrian passport have been followed by an announcement by Greek minister for citizen protection Nikos Tosca that the individual was masquerading as a refugee, reports Greek Antenna news.

Europe’s largest refugee crisis since World War II is entering a perilous phase, as the usual pattern of migrant season ending by autumn is overturned by intensifying fighting in Syria and overcrowding in refugee centers.

Police described the evacuation Saturday as a precaution, but the incident comes at a time of heightened concern in Britain in the aftermath of the terror attacks in Paris.

The source close to the inquiry said that the gunman’s body had been identified by his fingerprints and that he was from the Courcouronnes suburb south of Paris.

While this hasn’t been linked to the attacks in Paris, Detective Superintendent Nick May said that “given the events in Paris on Friday evening, there is heightened awareness around any such incident and it is best that we treat the matter in all seriousness”.

“Je suis Paris” chanted people holding candles and waving European Union flags, as the Athens City Hall was lit in the colors of the French national flag.

Molins said that, “a Syrian passport in the name of a person born in Syria in September 1990 was found near a suicide bomber who blew himself up at the Stade de France”.

French authorities said Saturday afternoon that 129 were killed in the attacks and more than 350 were injured.

The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the night of terror. “It’s not like we’re short of potential terrorists who are within Europe already and on the ground”. The BBC recently confirmed that three arrests had been made in Brussels.

In the wake of the attacks, Hollande has declared three days of national mourning and the French flag is flying at half-mast on top of the Elysee palace.

Europe’s broadly pro-refugee policies are likely to come under intense scrutiny following Friday’s attacks.
