Paris Attacks: Bataclan Suicide Bomber Posed As Syrian Refugee Via Greece

A suspected Paris suicide bomber reportedly posed as a Syrian refugee via Greece to sneak into Europe.

Daily Mail reports 25-year-old terrorist with a fake passport name of Ahmed Almohammad was one of those 199 people who crossed the Aegean sea from Turkey and were saved from a sinking raft that reached Greece on October 3.

The suspect's passport was found on the body of another suicide bomber and was identified by Greece as one of those migrants.

According to Greek junior interior minister for migration, Yiannis Mouzalas, Almohhamad was arrested on Leros but was released and given a permit to get a ferry to mainland Europe.

It took him over a month to reach France where he blew himself up and killed at least 89 people at the Bataclan concert hall along with three other attackers on Friday.

Eight members of the ISIS killed a total of 129 people in a series of simultaneous attacks that started around 8:17 PM GMT in Paris.

The first two suicide attacks killed one other person at Stade de France where the country is hosting an international friendly football game with Germany. Among the 80,000 spectators was President Francois Hollande who was able to evacuate.

The third attack happened around 8:25 PM GMT at a Cambodian restaurant Le Petit Cambodge and Le Carillon bar. The gun men arrived at the restaurant in the popular Canal Saint-Martin area and killed 15 diners.

The same group of attackers then headed to La Casa Nostra pizzeria and fired the diners at the terrace where five were killed. The unit immediately drove a mile to La Belle Equipe bar in Rue de Charonne, killing 19 people.

The fifth attack blasted outside cafe 'Comptoir Voltaire' on the Boulevard Voltaire near Bataclan Music Hall where another suicide bomber set off his vest.

Majority of the killings happened around 8:49 PM GMT at the Eagles of Death Metal concert in Bataclan where Almohammad, along with one woman and two men armed with AK-47s, stormed in and open fired on the members of the audience. Survivors reported the first three attackers blew themselves up while the fourth was shot by police before he was able to set off.

The final blast occurred at 8:50 PM GMT at McDonalds near Stade de France where the evacuees of the first two attacks fled.

These brutal attacks have sparked debates in the European Union's open-borders policy where not all refugees allowed to cross are safe.
