Paris, Nov 15 (IBNS): After a string of deadly terrorist attacks in Paris, authorities have identified a gunman, who was believed to be one of the three attackers at the Bataclan music hall where 89 people were shot dead on Friday, reports said on Sunday.
 
While Islamic State jihadists on Saturday claimed responsibility for the Friday's orchestrated attacks by suicide bombers and gunmen in Paris that killed at least 128 people, authorities took into custody the brother and father of this French gunman linked with the terror attack.
 
The body of the 29-year-old French national was found and identified at the Bataclan music hall.
 
Investigators have also searched the homes of friends and relatives of the Frenchman, said reports.
 
The terror attacks, worst in France's history since the second world war, were carried out in six locations, including  a concert hall, restaurants and the national sports stadium on Friday night.
 
French President Francois Hollande also blamed the Islamic extremist group and called the assault an "act of war".
 
The Islamic State released an undated video on Saturday threatening to attack France if bombings of its fighters continue. Earlier on Saturday, Hollande said the attacks were committed by Islamic State, planned and organised from abroad with help from inside France.
 
At least eight militants, all wearing suicide vests, brought unprecedented violence. Four of them, armed with AK47s and shouting "Allahu Akbar," stormed into a rock concert at the Bataclan concert hall in eastern Paris, gunning down at least 89 people.
