Third Bataclan attacker named

French police have identified the third gunman from the deadly attack on the Bataclan concert hall in Paris, Prime Minister Manuel Valls said on Wednesday. French national Foued Mohamed-Aggad, 23, had traveled to war-torn Syria with his brother and a group of friends at the end of 2013, police sources said. "The last time I saw him was two years ago before he went (to Syria)," Said Mohamed-Aggad, the attacker's father, said. "I have no words, I only found out this morning. I have to pull myself together." He said that if he had known "I would have killed him myself beforehand." The two other attackers involved in the massacre of 90 concertgoers at the Bataclan - Omar Ismail Mostefai, 29, and 28-year-old former Paris bus driver Samy Amimour - had also been in Syria. Two of the gunmen blew themselves up with suicide belts packed with explosives ­after the killing spree. The third was shot by police who stormed the venue as hundreds of hostages remained trapped inside. All three are now known to have been French nationals. Most of the group from Strasbourg who went to Syria with Mohamed-Aggad were arrested in the Meinau area of the city on their return in May 2014 and are all still in custody on terrorist charges. But Mohamed-Aggad stayed on in ­Syria, the source said. When questioned on their return, the men claimed they had been horrified by what they had witnessed in Syria and began returning to France in February 2014. All claimed to have gone to do humanitarian work but prosecutors believe they intended to fight for IS, which claimed responsibility for the carnage in Paris. Investigators believe two brothers from the same group who left Strasbourg in 2013, Mourad and Yassine ­Boudjellal, were killed fighting for Islamic State (IS) in Syria. Police suspect the ­Strasbourg group had been recruited by Mourad Fares, 31, considered a key online recruiter for IS. Fares - whom France's Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve has described as a "particularly dangerous individual" - was arrested in Turkey in August 2014 before being handed over to French authorities. Nearly 1,500 people, most of them under the age of 40, were watching the Californian band Eagles of Death Metal play at the Bataclan when the gunmen burst in last month, leaving 90 dead and hundreds injured. The band made an emotional return to the venue on Tuesday, with lead singer Jesse Hughes in tears as he laid a single flower among the piles of tributes to the dead. A further 40 people were killed in a string of coordinated attacks in and around Paris on the same evening. A huge manhunt for Belgian Salah Abdeslam, whose brother Brahim blew himself up at the Comptoir Voltaire cafe, is still ongoing.
