Third attacker at Bataclan venue identified, says police source

The two other attackers have already been named.

A POLICE SOURCE says that the third bomber at Paris’s Bataclan music hall has been identified.

AFP is reporting this morning that the source says the person has been identified, but they have not been officially named.

Le Parisien newspapers did name the man, but this name has not been confirmed, reports the BBC.

Ninety people died during the attack in the popular music venue Le Bataclan last month.

The two other attackers – who blew themselves up inside the venue – have been named as Omar Ismail Mostef and Samy Amimour, both from France.

More as we get it.

    Good end to a good week for united, hasn’t been too many of them this season. Big improvement in performance the last few games. Shame about heaven, let’s hope it’s not as bad as it looked.

    He does have talent but has been dropped in as the main goal scoring hope in a dysfunctional club/team at a very young age. Hopefully getting on the score sheet will give him some confidence back and he can score a lot more. They do need another striker to act as yhe main goal scorer though.

    “One step never climbed a mountain”… he needs to be consistent and to go out and do that again and again. 72M is nowhere near justified yet!!
