Three-hundred-and fifty-two people are believed to have been injured during Friday’s attacks in Paris, capital of France, with about 99 of them in critical condition.
Francois Molins, Paris prosecutor, disclosed this at a news conference on Saturday, saying the incidents were coordinated by three different teams and all the attackers had automatic Kalashnikov weapons.
He said one of the attackers was from a Parisian suburb and had been known for past criminal acts, adding that another had a Syrian passport.
“We have to find who these people are, who their accomplices are, who ordered this, where they come from, how they were financed,” he said.
