A police source confirmed on Tuesday evening that a third person was sitting in the black car of the Seat brand that the Abdeslam brothers were traveling in when they carried out the terrorist attack on Friday.

The car was used when the terrorists opened fire on bars, cafes and outdoor cafes in Paris' tenth and eleventh arrondissements.

During the night until Monday, the car was found abandoned in the Paris suburb of Montreul.

There were automatic weapons in the car - to the number of exactly three, states Le Figaro.

In total, there are nine terrorists who are said to have carried out the terrorist attacks, according to the police. What role this ninth person should have had, however, is not clear at present, according to the police source to which Le Figaro refers.
