The Paris prosecutor's office says two more suicide bombers involved in deadly attacks in the French capital have been identified.
Prosecutors said Monday that one suicide bomber who blew himself up in the Bataclan music hall Friday night was Samy Amimour, a 28-year-old Frenchman charged in a terrorism investigation in 2012. He had been placed under judicial supervision but dropped off the radar and was the subject of an international arrest warrant.
Prosecutors say three people in Amimour's family entourage have been in custody since early Monday.
A suicide bomber who blew himself up outside the national soccer stadium was found with a Syrian passport with the name Ahmad Al Mohammad, a 25-year-old born in Idlib. The prosecutor's office says fingerprints from the attacker match those of someone who passed through Greece in October.

Belgium's foreign minister is urging European countries to exchange information more quickly and efficiently to better tackle extremists like the Islamic State group.
Didier Reynders told reporters on Monday that "we need to exchange more and more intelligence."
He told reporters at a meeting of European Union foreign ministers that sharing intelligence "is the only one way to find the people with such a level of radicalization" as those who carried out the Paris attacks.
He also says Belgian authorities need "to organize more and more actions" in the Molenbeek neighborhood of Brussels, which has been a focal point for religious extremism and fighters going to Syria.
One of two French men believed to have carried out the attacks lived there.

European stock markets have opened lower but the retreat is less than many analysts were predicting in the wake of the attacks in Paris.
Though there are concerns over the impact on the French economy, especially what happens to consumer sentiment, the markets have largely held up early Monday.
The Stoxx 50 index of leading European shares was down 0.2 percent, while the CAC-40 index in Paris was only 0.4 percent lower.
Connor Campbell, financial analyst at Spreadex, said there is "no sign of the panicked trading that could have been justifiably expected."
Unsurprisingly, stocks within the travel and tourism sector, such as Germany's TUI and Britain's Thomas Cook, underperformed.
