France Says Three Teams Led Terror Killing Spree in Paris

As investigators hunt for leads in Europe’s worst terror attack in a decade, the Paris prosecutor laid out how three teams of assailants managed to kill at least 129 people in and around one of the world’s most heavily policed capitals.

   Suicide bombers and gunmen linked to the Islamic State group “were behind how the terrorist acts unfolded,” Francois Molins said in a televised press conference late Saturday.

   One of the suicide bombers in the attacks has been identified as Ismael Omar Mostefai, who lived in a Paris suburb and probably spent a few months in Syria during 2013 and 2014, Le Monde reported, citing Chartres Mayor Jean-Pierre Gorges, who’s also a member of parliament, and another unidentified source. 

   Police found a Syrian passport beside another attacker, who blew himself up outside the Stade de France during a France-Germany soccer match, Molins said. In Belgium at least three people have been arrested in connection with the deadly attacks, local prosecutors said.
