Two of the gunmen travelled via Greece through migrant route to carry out deadly attacks in France

Fresh details have become to emerge of the identities of the eight terrorists who carried out the deadly attacks in Paris last night. One of the gunmen is believed to have been a 25-year-old Syrian national, who was registered as a migrant when he entered Europe via Greece.A second gunman is thought to have followed the same route and used the migrant crossing route through Greece to reach France.One of the other gunmen has been identified as a French-born national, who was known to security services, according to Francois Molins, Paris prosecutor. The same gunman was also reportedly arrested eight times before he was radicalised, the French prosecutor confirmed.The attackers in Friday night’s coordinated, deadly assaults used the explosive TATP, which has been called the ‘mother of Satan’ because of its volatility, the Paris prosecutor confirmed.TATP, or triacetone triperoxide, is an improvised explosive that also was used in the 2005 London bombings that killed 52 commuters.The U.S. government’s National Counterterrorism Center lists TATP as a common explosive and describes it as ‘relatively easy to synthesize.’ Experts have said that tracing the materials used to make the explosive can be difficult because they are so readily available in stores.The counterterrorism center’s website describes the explosive as a mixture of ‘hydrogen peroxide and acetone with the addition of an acid, such as sulfuric, nitric, or hydrochloric acid.’On Friday night, three suicide bombs targeted spots around the Stade de France stadium, where French President Francois Hollande was watching a France-Germany soccer match. Another attacker detonated a suicide bomb on Boulevard Voltaire, near the Bataclan music hall where dozens of people were killed by gunmen, the prosecutor’s office said.The streets of the French capital were eerily quiet today as authorities declared a state of national emergency following the worst attacks in Europe since the 2004 Madrid train bombings.As chaos, confusion and fear gripped the city, parents have been taking to Twitter in the hope of finding news of their missing children while mourners across Paris and the world held vigils for the dead.Many have shared pictures and information about their loved ones with the hashtag ‘RechercheParis’ – which means ‘search Paris’ – and it has now spawned its own Twitter accounts and Facebook page.Many of those missing were at the Bataclan concert hall last night, where as many as 80 people were shot dead during a heavy metal gig.

In a televised address, the French President said the attacks were ‘committed by a terrorist army, the IslamicState group, a jihadist army, against France, against the values that we defend everywhere in the world, against what we are: a free country that means something to the whole planet’.ISIS later claimed responsibility for the attacks in revenge for French air strikes in Iraq and Syria and warned: ‘This is just the start of a storm’. It was also reported that one of the suicide bombers was found with a Syrian passport.Police are also hunting accomplices amid fears of further attacks, with the arrest of a 51-year-old man in Germany last week after firearms were discovered in his car now being linked to the atrocities, according to media reports.Police are also reportedly chasing a car containing four ‘heavily armed men’ who stormed through a police road block as they headed towards Paris.Officers are said to be in pursuit of a Citroën Berlingo after it forced its way through a toll on the A10 in the Ablis area of Yvelines in north-west France.In an indication of the heightened state of alert, it was earlier reported that armed officers and a police helicopter were scrambled to the Bagnolet area of Paris following reports of gunfire and explosions.Residents were reportedly told to stay indoors but local authorities later confirmed the ‘explosions’ were the result of fireworks being let off at a wedding celebration.France was in a nationwide state of emergency today after at least 129 people were killed in a series of coordinated terror attacks in the heart of Paris that have paralysed the country.

Armed with AK47 machine guns and shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’, four of the group marched into a rock concert at the Bataclan theatre, massacring up to 100 people and taking dozens hostage.Video footage emerged of the stampede into a street behind the theatre shows concert-goers leaving a trail of blood as they drag their dying friends from the scene.One woman clung desperately to the window ledge of the second floor as she tried to hide from the terrorists.Meanwhile, bodies lie by the entrance – all apparently dead, before one moves and attempts to stand. Bleeding heavily, and unable to lift themselves, the camera captures the moment they try to use their phone– possibly to call for help.The video was taken byLe Mondejournalist Daniel Psenny from his flat in a building opposite. He was later injured himself, shot in the arm through his window.Witnesses reported hearing at least one of the terrorists at the Bataclan Theatre speaking perfect French.
