Paris attacks: What we know so far about the Islamic State perpetrators

In the wake of the deadly attacks in Paris on 13 November, which killed 130 people, police have pieced together an almost complete picture of the core individuals in the Islamic State (Isis) group who carried out the atrocities across the French capital. All eight attackers who wreaked havoc at the Bataclan, Stade de France and in the cafes and restaurants of central Paris are now accounted for, and six of them have been positively identified.

A ninth would-be attacker, Salah Abdeslam, remains at large, despite a Europe-wide manhunt. Police across Europe and further afield have conducted a series of raids on the network that supported the group, foiling half a dozen suspected attacks on European capitals in the process.

The climax of the security effort against the Paris attackers came in the days after the massacres when French police and troops descended upon the safe house of Abdelhamid Abaaoud, who organised the attacks and was killed in the raid alongside two other associates.

Paris prosecutor François Molins said 5,000 rounds of ammunition were expended over the course of the raids against two properties in the area, detailing a deadly confrontation in which five members of Special Forces were injured, two suspects killed and eight more arrested.

The attackers, all of whom were in their 20s, were mostly European citizens of North African descent. Most had travelled to Syria, where they had been recruited by IS. Among some of the attackers a pattern has also emerged of low-level delinquency and sporadic drug and alcohol abuse prior to radicalisation.
