A passport found near the body of one of the Stade de France suicide bombers may have belonged to a Syrian soldier killed several months ago, a source close to the investigation has told the AFP news agency.
The passport is in the name of Ahmad al-Mohammad, born on 10 September 1990, in the Syrian city of Idlib. French investigators say all indications suggest he was a soldier loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
British Labour Party MP John Woodcock has condemned the Stop the War coalition's claim in blog a on Saturday - since deleted, external - that "Paris reaps whirlwind of western support for extremist violence in Middle East".
Mr Woodcock told the BBC: "I think we have to call this for what it is. Blaming the people of France, or the French government, or the UK government for the killing of French civilians or UK civilians is akin at the time of the Second World War to blaming the Jews for their deaths under the Nazis. It is that serious."
UK Prime Minister David Cameron says he is setting out a comprehensive strategy for dealing with Islamic State extremists - including British participation in air strikes on IS targets in Syria.
He called on MPs to support such action, saying the attacks on Paris claimed by IS had made a stronger case.
Until now, the British government has not asked for the required parliamentary vote to back air strikes on Syrian territory, because it did not believe it would command a majority.

Islamic State is unusually well positioned to go global because it has so many foreign members,Dan Bryman argues on the Brookings website, external.
Such a move elevates the jihadist group’s status, improves its self-image, and makes it more attractive for young recruits, he argues. Anti-Western terrorism grabs headlines in a way that local fighting does not, he says.
But, he notes, there are significant negatives in such a strategy, including:

The local newspaper Aachener Nachrichten reports, external that officers stopped a car in which the three people were travelling at 09:30 (08:30 GMT), outside a job centre in Joseph von Fraunhofer street in Alsdorf, just north-east of Aachen.

France has for the first time invoked the European Union's mutual defence clause. At a meeting in Brussels, EU defence ministers unanimously backed France's invocation of Article 42.7 of the Treaty of European Union, which obliges all EU member states to provide "aid and assistance" if another is attacked.
But what does this mean? It is a little hard to say at the moment because the clause has never been invoked before, but this is what French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian had to say:
Quote MessageIn practice either there will be co-operation in terms of pooling capabilities... or there will be support given on other operations so lightening our load elsewhere. What I've said to my colleagues is France can't do everything, we can't act alone."
Mr Le Drian added that France was in "very close talks with our partners to take stock of what we can do together and what each partner can contribute".

As Parisians struggle to come to terms with Friday’s attacks, parents have had to explain events to their children, reassuring them as they returned to school this week amid a state of emergency.
The BBC's Howard Johnson met a Franco-Australian family in the 15th arrondissement of Paris to see how they helped their two sons understand what had happened.
French magazine Le Point has published video, external purportedly of the interiors of the two rooms rented at Appart'City Alfortville, a hotel in an eastern suburb of Paris, by the suspect Salah Abdeslam for two nights before Friday's attacks.
The footage appears to show syringes and tubes lying on a coffee table. Le Point speculates that they could have been used to make the explosive vests detonated by seven of the assailants on Friday, or to take drugs.
Questions are being asked about how the gunmen might have purchased the assault weapons used in the Paris attacks.
But Nils Duquet, a researcher at the Flemish Peace Institute in Brussels - which maps the illegal arms trade for the Belgian parliament - tells the BBC it would have been possible to buy such weapons in Belgium.
Quote MessageIf you are connected to the criminal world it's relatively easy. If you're not, it's quite difficult. If there is a lot of trust between the buyer and the seller it is definitely possible to buy all kinds of firearms in the black market. What we've noticed in the recent attacks is that all of the terrorists that used these firearms had a history of criminal violence."
An RAF Reaper drone that carried out an attack in an area occupied by Islamic State militants in Iraq then went on to provide intelligence for a major French air strike in Syria, the UK Ministry of Defence says.
The Reaper flew "overwatch" destroying a terrorist vehicle with a Hellfire missile the MoD says.
It then crossed into Syrian airspace where it conducted routine intelligence collection against IS and provided surveillance support to the major French air strike on a large terrorist facility near the city of Raqqa, it adds.
