BREAKDOWN OF ARRESTS IN CONNECTION WITH PARIS ATTACK


There have now been a string of arrests in connection with the terror attacks across central Paris locations on Friday. The arrests so far include:

Saturday afternoon: Three people are arrested at the French/Belgian border after police trace their car after it was sighted in Paris at the time of the attacks.
Saturday evening: Police arrest seven people in the St Jans Molenbeek district of Brussels after a discarded parking ticket found in the VW Polo seen outside the Bataclan theatre led police there. It is confirmed two of the attackers live in Brussels, with one from the Molenbeek area.
Saturday night: Suicide bomber Omar Ismail Mostefai, 29, is identified by his finger, which was found among the carnage at the Bataclan concert hall, and confirmed as one of the terrorists responsible. He killed himself in the attack but six of his family members, including his father, 34-year-old brother and sister-in-law, are arrested in France and their homes searched.
