He may be the brother of one of the suicide bombers, whom The Washington Post identified as Ibrahim Abdeslam, citing an anonymous intelligence official. The brothers are French citizens who had been living in Belgium.
Seven gunmen, all of whom were wearing suicide vests packed with explosives, died in the multiple assaults Friday evening. The first to be identified was named as Ismael Omar Mostefai, a 29-year-old who lived in the city of Chartres, southwest of Paris.
French media said he was French-born and of Algerian descent. Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said the man had a security file for Islamist radicalization, adding that he had a criminal record but had never spent time in jail. He was identified through tests on his severed finger.
A judicial source said Mostefai's father and brother had been taken in for questioning, along with other people believed to be close to him.
Molins told reporters that three jihadist cells staged coordinated hits on Friday night at bars, a concert hall and soccer stadium, killing 129 people and injuring about 350. Of the injured, 80 were in critical condition and 42 were still in the process of being resuscitated Sunday afternoon, Le Figaro reported.
France launched strikes Sunday night targeting strongholds of the Islamic State group, which had taken credit for the attacks and called them revenge for French military action in Syria and Iraq.
