Who were the Paris attackers?

France, which along with Belgium has launched a massive manhunt for people involved in the attacks that killed at least 129 people in Paris on Friday.

The country is trying to establish the identities of the attackers and chief suspects.

The following is a list of some of the seven attackers who died, as well as others named in the investigation.

Key suspects still at large

Salah Abdeslam

The 26-year-old French national has been identified as a key suspect, and he is urgently being sought by police.

He is suspected of having rented black VW Polo car used in attacks in Paris.

On Saturday, he was in a vehicle with two other men near the Belgian border when it was stopped by police, but was released after checks.

Abdelhamid Abaaoud

Abdelhamid Abaaoud, from Molenbeek, Brussels is the alleged mastermind of the attacks in Paris.

Abaaoud, 27, has been linked to a foiled attack in Thalys in August, and a foiled attack on Villejuif churches in April.

He is believed to be one of the so-called Islamic State's most active operators.

Dead attackers

Ismail Omar Mostefai

The 29-year-old Frenchman of Algerian descent was involved in the attack on the Bataclan concert hall. 

He was born in Courcouronnes, south of Paris, and his name was put on French intelligence services' "S notice" in 2010 for reported radicalisation.

He is believed to have travelled to Turkey at the end of 2013, and investigators suspect he then went to Syria.

An unnamed senior Turkish government official says Turkey contacted France about Mostefai in December 2014 and June 2015 but only got a return request for information on him after the Paris attacks.

Samy Amimour

The 28-year-old was also involved in the Bataclan attack was French and was the subject of an international arrest warrant since late 2013.

Amimour had been under official investigation since October 2012 on suspicion of terrorism-related activity over a plan to go to Yemen. 

He is believed to have gone to Syria in late 2013.

Brahim Abdeslam

The 31-year-old is the brother of Salah Abdeslam, a key suspect still at large.

He was a French resident of Belgium. He blew himself up at Comptoir Voltaire café in Paris.

Bilal Hadfi

The 20-year-old was a suicide bomber involved in the Stade de France attack.

Other

A suicide bomber involved in the Stade de France attack.

A passport was found beside the dead body of the kamikaze bomber carrying the name of Ahmad Al Mohammad, 25, from Idlib, northwest Syria.

The passport is being checked but fingerprints match up with print of a person registered under that name in Greece in October 2015. 

Arrested

In Belgium, two of seven people arrested in raids were detained on terrorism charges.

Mohammad Abdeslam, the brother of Salah and Brahim, was among five released after preliminary questioning.
