One of the terrorists in Friday's Paris attacks has been identified as a 30-year-old French national from a Paris suburb, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said. The individual had a criminal history, and was identified as having been radicalized in 2010 but had never been accused of terrorism, he said.
The prosecutor said there were likely three teams of terrorists involved in the attacks. Seven terrorists were killed, he said.
Belgian authorities have detained three people; one is believed to have hired vehicles used in the attacks.
Molins said the number of people killed stands at 129 with 352 people injured -- at least 99 seriously.
Details about the victims are beginning to come in. An American student from California State University, Long Beach was among those killed. Nohemi Gonzalez, 20, was a junior studying design, according to a statement the university sent to CNN.
The Belgian Foreign Ministry has said at least two Belgians were among the dead.
