Six terrorists who participated in Friday's deadly coordinated attacks in Paris had been identified by name by Monday, while the suspected mastermind was said to be Belgian national Abdelhamid Abaaoud.
Details of the six terrorists who have been named have begun trickling out, while much of the events leading up to the attacks remained shrouded in mystery.
Authorities said eight terrorists had participated in the attacks and that seven had died on Friday – six detonated explosive belts and one was shot dead by police.
The eighth attacker fled and was briefly stopped before being released and has not been found.
Ismael Omar Mostefai was the first terrorist to be publicly identified by French authorities.
Mostefai, who was 29 and of Algerian descent, lived in Courcouronnes, south of Paris.
Mostefai had a history of petty crime.
He was identified via his finger, found in the Bataclan theater, where he blew himself up.
