Among the 129 victims, 89 were killed during the shooting and hostage taking in Bataclan theatre, Molins told the press.

He also added that seven attackers were also neutralized, including three killed during the assault carried out by security forces to rescue hostages taken in Bataclan theatre.

However, Molins pointed out that "very likely" there were three teams of "terrorists" who coordinated the attacks all over Paris.

As for their identities, the prosecutor only gave out details on two attackers.

"One of the attackers at Bataclan is formally identified," he confirmed, adding that the suspect was born in France in 1985, known to the intelligence services.

As for the Syrian passport found at the site of Stade de France bombing, he could only confirm it belonged to a Syrian born in 1990, unknown to the security services.

But according to local media, Greek Minister of Public Protection Nikos Toskas confirmed earlier Saturday the Syrian passport belonged to a migrant registered last October at his arrival on Europe.
