the coordination of anti-terrorist Unit (UCLAT) has been distributed on Friday to all services – police, gendarmerie and customs – a listing reproduce his photo titled “Threat against the national territory “

Shortly after the attack, they have discovered the parental home of Adel Kermiche an identity card in the name of the young Savoyard. Several telephony elements suggest that the two men were in contact shortly before the facts.
But Abdel Malik P., although targeted since late June with a “S” statement of the Security Bureau indoor (ISB) for trying to win Syria, is unknown to the police, which therefore have neither its papillary fingerprints nor his DNA profile.
