First attacker identified as Ismael Omar Mostefai

Online Desk:   Ismael Omar Mostefai has been named as one of the eight assailants involved in co-ordinated attacks across Paris.

Mostefai, 29, a French national from Courcouronnes in the southern suburbs of Paris, has been named by investigators, according to French newspaper Le Monde.

He is thought to be one of three suicide bombers who took control of the Bataclan concert hall, killing at least 89 people and holding more than 200 concert-goers hostage.

The attackers died at the venue, reportedly detonating their vests when police stormed the venue.

French investigators said Mostefai was identified via a fingerprint from a severed finger retrieved from the Bataclan.
