French authorities believe there may have been 9 attackers versus the already known to investigators. The possibility of 9 suspects would mean that there are actually two terrorist at large, one being Salah Abdeslam's brother, and the other someone who has yet to be identified.

Investigators are scouring the attackers cell phones for clues about how they communicated with each other. So far authorities have struggled to extract any meaningful information from the phones due to nearly unbreakable encryption used in messaging apps such as Telegram.


French Investigators say that the terrorist involved in the Paris Attacks were wearing suicide vests injected with a homemade explosive called "Mother Of Satan." The substance is highly volatile, cheap, and destructive. The main ingredient is an ingredient called TATP. TATP is the same substance used by the Richard Reid, otherwise known as the shoe bomber, who attempted to blow up a plane in midflight back in 2001.

"Serious plans for explosions" forced the evacuation of a stadium in Hannover, Germany, on Tuesday night before a Netherlands-Germany friendly soccer match, the police chief for Germany's Lower Saxony region told Germany's public broadcaster NDR.

Chief Volker Kluwe told NDR that authorities "had concrete intelligence that someone wanted to set off an explosive device inside the stadium." The two tips forced officials to cancel the Netherlands-Germany match about 90 minutes before kickoff.

A Renault with Belgian plates, syringes in a hotel room and a cell phone containing a chilling message were among the focuses Tuesday in the sweeping multinational investigation into last week's terror attacks in Paris that killed 129 people.

French President Francois Hollande says his country "is at war" after three teams of gun-wielding ISIS suicide bombers hit six busy locations. His military backed up the statement by pounding ISIS targets in Syria with airstrikes. Russia launched airstrikes and cruise missiles there.

More than half the nation's governors say they oppose letting Syrian refugees into their states, although the final say on this contentious immigration issue will fall to the federal government.

States protesting the admission of refugees range from Alabama and Georgia, to Texas and Arizona, to Michigan and Illinois, to Maine and New Hampshire. Among these 31 states, all but one have Republican governors.
