Paris prosecutors identified two more suicide bombers


Paris prosecutors have identified two more suicide bombers from Friday’s attacks as Ahmad Al Mohammad and Samy Amimour.

Ahmad Al Mohammad (Stade de France)
Al Mohammad, the bomber who targeted the Stade de France, has now been definitively linked by the authorities to the Syrian passport found near his body. He was born on 10 September 1990 in Idlib, Syria, according to the passport.


The passport was registered by a refugee who landed on the Greek island of Leros on 7 October. The Serbian newspaper Blic said he crossed into the country that day, having arrived four days earlier on Leros.

Samy Amimour (Bataclan)
Amimour, one of the suicide bombers at the Bataclan theatre, was born on 15 October 1987 in Drancy, a north-eastern suburb of Paris.

He was known to French authorities before the attack. Prosecutors say three people in Amimour’s family have been in custody since early Monday.
