Afternoon summary - what we know

Police have raided a Brussels neighbourhood where three of the attackers are believed to have lived, and made a number of arrests.

One of the attackers at the Bataclan is understood to be a 30-year-old French national, who was known to French police because of links to Islamic radicals.

A Syrian and an Egyptian passport were found on the bodies of the two suicide bombers who targeted the Stade de France.

The Syrian passport belonged to a refugee who passed through Greece, according to a Greek minister.

German authorities say they have ‘reasonable grounds to believe’ a man arrested in Bavaria earlier this month, in a car loaded with explosives, may be linked to the Paris attacks.
