  • Homegrown terrorist Omar Ismaël Mostefai, 29,  and former ISIS fighter Bilal Hadfi named as suicide bombers
  • Paris attacks have left 129 dead and 349 injured - 96 of which are in a critical condition. 30 of dead not yet identified

  • French detectives questioned one of the jihadis behind Friday's terror attacks as he crossed the Belgian border and let him go after he showed them his ID card. 
    Officers pulled over Salah Abdelsam on Saturday morning on the A2 motorway between Paris and Brussels in a hired car used in the attacks. 

    Detectives soon discovered their blunder when they discovered that Abdeslam had rented VW Polo abandoned near the scene of the massacre inside the Bataclan theatre. However, by the time they alerted Belgian authorities, the jihadi had abandoned the car in the jihadi stronghold of Molenbeek, Brussels and disappeared.

    An international manhunt has been launched.
    French security officials have admitted that Abdeslam was one of three men inside the car which had been stopped on the border on Saturday morning. Officers in Paris had already identified Salah Abdeslam as a person of interest but that information had not been transmitted to those responsible for conducting the border checks.
