French investigators name alleged coordinator of Paris, Brussels attacks
French investigators have identified a Syria-based extremist of dual Belgian and Moroccan nationality as a suspected coordinator of attacks in Paris and Brussels, sources close to the case told AFP on Tuesday.
Oussama Atar, a 32-year-old thought to be a member of the Islamic State group, was already a suspect in the Brussels attacks on March 22 but has now been linked to the November 13, 2015 atrocities in Paris.

"He`s the only coordinator from Syria to have been identified during the investigations," one of the sources told AFP.
