Two more of the seven terrorists who died during a wave of carnage across Paris were identified on Sunday — while a Muslim neighborhood in Belgium emerged as a staging area for the deadly attacks.
Belgian prosecutors said at least two men from the Molenbeek section of Brussels were among the killers who blew themselves up during three hours of bloodshed on Friday.
Ibrahim Abdeslam, 31, detonated his explosive vest at the Comptoir Voltaire cafe, along the same road where world leaders marched to protest January’s terror attack on the satirical Charlie Hebdo magazine.
Abdeslam, who is believed to have taken part in the shooting spree at the Bataclan theater, also rented a black SEAT car with Belgian license plates that was used during the attacks and in which cops discovered three Kalashnikov assault rifles when they found the car in the eastern suburb of Montreuil.
Another suicide bomber was identified Sunday as Bilal Hadfi, with The Washington Post saying investigators had confirmed Hadfi fought for ISIS in Syria.
The French Justice Ministry said a third man, age 20, blew himself up outside the Stade de France soccer stadium, but didn’t release his name.
Authorities previously identified Ismail Omar Mostefai, 29, as one of the Bataclan theater killers, based on prints lifted from his severed finger.
Mostefai reportedly spent several months in Syria this past winter, and had been on a French terrorist watch list since 2010.
Both Abdeslam and Hadfi lived in Molenbeek, the same Brussels neighborhood where terrorist Ahmedy Coulibaly got the weapons he used in the Charlie Hebdo slayings.
Another terrorist, Ayoub El-Khazzani, is also believed to have bought weapons in Molenbeek, which he later used during a failed August attack aboard a high-speed train in France.
And the al Qaeda assassins who killed anti-Taliban commander Ahmed Shah Massoud ahead of the Sept. 11 attacks also stayed for a time in Molenbeek.
Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel admitted that the neighborhood was a “gigantic problem.”
“In the last few months, many initiatives have been launched in the fight against radicalization, but there should be a greater crackdown,” Michel said.
“We are going to work more intensely with the local authorities. The federal government is ready to provide more means.”
