The attackers who killed 129 people in Friday night’s shootings and suicide bombings in Paris appeared to be split into three coordinated teams armed with Kalashnikov assault rifles and high explosives, as per a report of Reuters. One of the teams talked of Syria and Iraq, where France has launched air strikes over the past year, as they fired on a crowd at a rock concert.
“We can say at this stage of the investigation there were probably three coordinated teams of terrorists behind this barbaric act,” Paris prosecutor Francois Molins told a news conference. “Seven terrorists died during their criminal action.”
Molins confirmed that French authorities had a security file for Islamist radicalisation on one of the dead attackers — a French national who had a criminal record but had never spent time in jail.
