Paris, Nov 15 (IBNS): French authorities have said that the Friday's orchestrated attacks by suicide bombers and gunmen in Paris which left at least 129 people killed, were carried out by the Islamic State who broke into three groups, media reports said.
Authorities have already 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.
 
The body of the 29-year-old French national was found and identified at the Bataclan music hall.
 
Two others reportedly appeared to be Belgian foreign fighters, including an 18-year-old who had fought in Syria.
 
A Syrian passport was found near the body of another assailant. 
 
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.
