The French Police have identified one of seven attackers who has killed at least 129 people at Bataclan concert hall on Friday night. The attacker’s name was revealed as Omar Ismail Mostefai (29), from his severed finger which was found at the concert hall.
The responsibility for the worst ever attacks on France has been claimed by the Islamic State group. According to IS they were behind the gun and suicide attacks in six places in Paris including concert hall, restaurants and bars, and outside football stadium, which left 129 killed, 359 wounded.
After the attack, investigations across Europe intensified. Belgian Police has arrested several suspects and German authorities investigating a possible link to a man recently found with a car of explosives. The authorities have indicated that some of the terrorists have entered Europe as migrant from Syria’s civil war. The suspicions got momentum after one Syrian passport were found near one gunman.
French President Francois Hollande claimed it as “act of war” which socked the world, and vowed actions against the IS jihadists.
