‘Two Paris attackers were Iraqi nationals’

‘Two Paris attackers were Iraqi nationals’

Two of the militants involved in the Paris attacks in November last year were Iraqi nationals, the Islamic State group has claimed.

French officials had identified nine attackers but there were doubts about the nationalities of two men involved in the Stade de France bombings.

The claim was made in the latest issue of the group's Dabiq magazine.

 

Two other suspects in the November attacks, which killed 130 people, are still on the run.

The English-language magazine featured nine men in military fatigues whom it said were responsible for the attack, under the headline "Just Terror".

A black and white photograph of Paris white was used as a background image.

The two men, thought to have been involved in the State de France bombings, are identified by the nicknames Ukashah al-Iraqi and Ali al-Iraqi.

Their full names were not given and no other information has been published.
