French police has identified the third attacker of the Bataclan concert hall in Paris, which was one of the sites targeted during the multiple attacks in the French capital on November 13.
The information was confirmed by French President Manuel Valls, the BBC informs.
The name of the attacker was not disclosed, but reports suggest that he was 23-year-old Foeud Mohamed-Aggad, a French citizen from Strasbourg.
The attacks, which were claimed by Islamic State (IS), left 130 people dead and hundreds other injured.
The attack at Bataclan, which was the site of hostage-taking, was the deadliest, claiming the lives of ninety people.
All three attackers, who wore suicide belts, have been identified as French citizens.
The other two attackers, who blew themselves up, have also been identified as Frenchmen – Omar Ismail Mostefai and Samy Amimour.
According to reports, Mohamed-Aggad travelled to Syria in late 2013 with a group of redicalised youth from Strasbourg, including his brother.
Upon their return to France, several people of the group were arrested, while Mohamed-Aggad is believed to have stayed in Syria.
French media suggests that Mohamed-Aggad was recruited by Mourad Fares, who is known for his active recruitment of young Frenchmen for jihadist groups in Syria.
The identity of one other attacker is still to be established, while there are suspicions that the passports of the two men, who blew themselves up outside the Stade de France stadium, are fake.
