French police release photos of third suicide bomber

French police have released this picture of the third suicide bomber who took part in the attack on the Stade de France last Friday night.

Cops have published the image in the hope the public can help identify him.

 

The French National Police posted a photo of the man on Twitter this evening.

The picture reportedly shows a man known as M al-Mahmod, according to the BBC.

He is believed to have entered the Greek island of Leros with another terrorist travelling under the name of Ahmad al-Mohammad.

The man was one of three people killed in attacks at the stadium.

The bombers had tried to get into the Stade de France during the international friendly match between France and Germany, but were blocked at the turnstyles.

They detonated their suicide vests - killing themselves and one passer-by.

One of the suicide bombers was 20-year-old Belgian Bilal Hadfi, who spent time fighting with IS in Syria before detonating his suicide vest outside the venue.

Two others brought fake passports along to the suicide mission, and they were found among the body parts and debris left behind.
