One of the Paris Terrorists Has Been Identified

As investigations continue into the terrorists who left over 120 people dead in yesterday’s attack on Paris, one of them has been identified as French native Ismael Omar Mostefai:

Mostefai’s identity was unveiled on Facebook by Jean-Pierre Gorges, a member of the French parliament and mayor of Chartres, where Mostefai lived at least until 2012.

Investigations are ongoing as to the identities of the perpetrators and their accomplices, as well as those who were murdered in the seven attacks. A report from CNN stated that two of the suicide bombers were thought to have infiltrated the country by posing as refugees coming through Greece, a Syrian passport having been recovered from one of their bodies.

WMUR reports that the fatalities include three Chileans, two Mexicans, and a vast assortment of French and other European citizens.
