A black SEAT car used by gunmen who fired atpeople in restaurants during the attacks in Paris on Friday has been found inthe eastern suburb of Montreuil police said Sunday.

According to AFP the car contained “several Kalashnikovs”.

Police have not confirmed whether the attackers who used the car are still on the run.

The car — the second vehicle police have found linked to Friday’s attacks — was used in the shootings at the cafe on Rue Fontaine-au-Roi where five were killed and in the restaurant on Rue de Charonne where 19 were gunned down according to prosecutor Francois Molins.

Police have identified one of the gunmen who blew himself up at theBataclan concert hall the scene of the bloodiest attack where 89 people werekilled as 29-year-old Omar Ismail Mostefai a Paris native of Algerian descent.

Mostefai had a criminal record of petty crimes having been convicted eight times between 2004 and 2010 but never serving jail time.

Six people close to Omar Ismail Mostefai who took part in the killings atthe Bataclan concert hall and the first of Friday’s attackers to beidentified have been detained. Among those detained are his father a 34-year-old brother and a sister-in-law judicial and police sources said.

They are being questioned as part of routine efforts to verify informationabout the attacker the sources said. The sister-in-law is reported by BFMTV to have told police that the family lived a “quiet life”.

“It’s a crazy thing it’s madness” the brother told AFP Saturday beforebeing detained referring to the carnage that left 129 people dead.

Omar Ismail Mostefai used to regularly attend the mosque in Luce in southwest Paris a source close to the enquiry informed AFP.

Another two identified terrorists identified believed to be Syrian nationals who entered Europe through Greece several months ago. They are 25-year-old Ahmed Almuhamed the Serbian newspaper Blic reported while Le Figaro disclosed Abbdulakbak B who was born in 1990.

Greek officials said one and perhaps boththe assailants had passed through Greece in October from Turkey alongside Syrian refugees fleeing violence in their homeland.

Prosecutors said the slaughter — claimed by Islamic State as revenge for French military action in Syria and Iraq — appeared to involve a multinational team with links to the Middle East Belgium and possibly Germany as well as home-grown French roots.

“Because we are at war we will take exceptional measures. We will act and we will hit them. We will hit this enemy to destroy them obviously in France and Europe … but also in Syria and Iraq” he said. “We will win.”

All seven of the militants wore identical explosive vests and did nothesitate to blow themselves up – a worrying change of tactic for jihadiststargeting France.

Unlike the attacks in London in 2005 where the bombers’ explosives werestored in backpacks Friday’s attackers used the sort of suicide vestsnormally associated with bombings in the Middle East.

“Suicide vests require a munitions specialist. To make a reliable andeffective explosive is not something anyone can do” a former Frenchintelligence chief told AFP speaking on condition of anonymity.

“A munitions specialist is someone who is used to handling explosives whoknows how to make them to arrange them in a way that the belt or vest is notso unwieldy that the person can’t move” he added. “And it must also not blow up by accident.”

French authorities say the vests appeared to have been made with TATP oracetone peroxyde that is easy for amateurs to make at home but is highlyunstable.The vests also included a battery a detonation button and shrapnel tomaximize injuries.

“They didn’t bring these vests from Syria: the more you shake these thingsthe more you multiply the risks” said the former intelligence chief. “It’s very likely he is here in France or Europe one or several guys who
have come back from jihadist areas and who learned over there.”

‘Not cannon fodder’

Three specialists contacted by AFP said it was probable the vests were madeby someone outside the group that carried out the attacks.“The explosive specialist is too precious. He never participates inattacks” said Alain Chouet a former director at France’s DGSE externalintelligence agency. “So he’s around somewhere.”

“The bomb-maker is not cannon fodder” added Pierre Martinet anotherformer DGSE official who now works in corporate security.“He’s there to make more suicide vests and allow other guys to carry out
actions.”

Making a vest is extremely complicated.“It can’t be done in a couple of days” said the former intelligence chief.

“It takes weeks of training and you have to work under the watch of a‘master’. It’s meticulous work.”

On the eve of the UN global climate conference in the northern suburbs ofParis later this month followed by New Year’s celebrations and next year’sEuro 2016 football championships concerns are high.

“It’s extremely worrying” said the retired intelligence chief who askednot to be named.“Every service is on tenterhooks.”
