First Paris suicide bomber named

One of the suicide bombers in Paris has been identified as Ismael Omar Mostefai, CNN reports, citing a French MP.

Jean-Pierre Gorges, who is also the mayor of Chatres, says Mostefai lived in his town until at least 2012.

According to Le Monde, Mostefai likely traveled to Syria in the winter of 2013-2014. The 29-year-old French national was identified by a piece of his finger taken from the Bataclan theater, according to the report.

His father and brother are in police custody.
