Police have taken into custody the father and brother of a French gunman linked to the Paris attacks which occurred on Friday November 13, 2015, and were searching their homes, a source close to the probe told Agence France Presse (AFP).

The body of the 29-year-old French national was found and identified at the Bataclan music hall where 89 people were shot dead Friday when three gunmen wearing suicide vests opened fire on spectators in the bloodiest of a string of attacks in Paris blamed on Islamists.

France’s worst ever attacks killed at least 129 people and left 352 injured, many in critical condition.

Investigators were also searching the homes of friends and relatives of the Frenchman, another source close to the enquiry said.

The father’s house is located in the small town of Romilly-sur-Seine, some 80 miles east of Paris, while his brother’s is south of Paris in the Essonne region.

The brother, who is 34, contacted the police on his own initiative and was then taken into custody.

The Frenchman confirmed as one of the attackers was known to police as being close to radical Islam but had never been linked to a terrorism enquiry, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said earlier on Saturday.

He was identified via a severed fingertip.

    So far, one of the three identified terrorists entered Europe as a refugee. This leaves me with two concerns: 1. You remember Jason Buzi identified Dominica, and up to today the government has said nothing about it, and it no longer gets local attention? Here are a few quotes from Buzi and you will understand why that idea is not far fetch:
    “There are thousands of islands that are right now being offered for sale, the majority of them are uninhabited. I could buy an island for cheaper than a condo in San Francisco or New York, but the issue is a political one: ”

    “There’s also the option of a small island country in Dominica in the Caribbean…” ” I think smaller countries could do it for both financial reasons and creating political goodwill” http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/10/jason-buzi-refugee-nation/410728/

    2. In an effort to always make US look bad, just about two weeks ago many DLP supporters accused US for not taking Syrian refugees. I hope they…

    We are in the last days. Repent and be baptized. Give your life to Christ, for you do not know the time nor the hour of your death. Peace be with you, my peace I give unto you says the Lord!

    As they start to identify the paris terror shooters, I really starting to tremble because it is a fact that under Skerrit, the sale of our passports have officially replaced the sale of our bananas, as our passports are being sold to anyone and anywhere.

    So what if after church today the breaking news on CNN is, one of the attackers was from Iran but made his way to France with a passport of the commonwealth of Dominica? I am not saying that is the case and do hope it’s not. But is it a possibility? You bet!

    Right now we have cocoa in sun (sale of passports) and we must be looking for rain (danger). You remember the song of sparrow in the 70’s called parables? Here is one verse: Lalin kouwi jou pawe
    One day, one day, congotay
    Who have cocoa in sun always looking for rain
    He who have cocobay doh ‘fraid yaws again
    Wise man will never practice what you hear him preach
    So doh hang your hat where you hand can’t reach
    Love soon get cold when it run hot like caca

    It would do us (man) a whole lot of good to pay keen attention to the final verse of the 2nd Psalm: Kiss the son (YESHUA) lest HE be angry, and ye (man) perish from the way,when HIS wrath is kindled but a little.
    And so the bright side is; Blessed are all they that put their trust in HIM (JEHOVAH)

    The thief ( devil ) cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy…
    Oh…as long as we (man) continue to behave as if we know best and is able to chart our own course in life, excluding JEHOVAH , we (man) should only expect more of the same and worse.
    What these so called brilliant men fail to realize is that: the isis fighters are just the vessels that are being used.They made themselves available. The real enemy operates behind the scenes and can’t be defeated with guns, bombs or any thing natural.
    France,America,Britain, all the nations on planet earth need to read : Psalm 2 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing??Why do the kings,the rulers take counsel together against JEHOVAH and HIS anointed. HE (JEHOVAH) that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh; the LORD shall have them in derision. As a result of man raging against JEHOVAH, HE has promised to speak unto man in HIS wrath, and vex man in HIS sore displeasure.
