French
officials investigating the deadly Paris attacks have named seven
people they believe to have carried out the assaults, claimed by the
Islamic State (IS) group.
One of the seven was detained by Belgian police and has since been released without charge, according to his lawyer.
Two other attackers who died in Friday's violence have not yet been named.
Below are brief profiles of each suspect.
Salah Abdeslam
The 26-year-old French national has been identified as a key suspect, and he is urgently being sought by police.
He
is believed to have rented a VW Polo car in Belgium, which was later
found near the Bataclan concert hall were 89 people were killed.
On
Saturday, he was in a vehicle with two other men near the Belgian
border when it was stopped by police, but was released after checks.
It is unclear whether the French authorities had matched the car found at the Bataclan venue to him at the time he was stopped.
Police have described Salah Abdeslam as dangerous, and warned people not to approach him.
French
news channel BFMTV has quoted an investigative source as saying that he
and one of the other attackers were known to the authorities in
Belgium, where he was based.
Brahim Abdeslam
Salah
Abdeslam's brother died after he set off his explosives-laden suicide
belt near a Paris cafe on Boulevard Voltaire, investigators say.
The 31-year-old had rented a Seat car which was found after the attacks.
He
had earlier appeared in several Belgian police files alongside
Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the suspected mastermind of Friday's attacks.
The documents relate to criminal cases in 2010 and 2011.
"Investigators
see a link with Verviers," Belgium's De Standaard newspaper reported,
referring to a Belgian town where police shot dead two militants in
January and broke up a cell aiming to kill Belgian police officers, days
after the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris.
Both Brahim Abdeslam
and Abaaoud lived in Molenbeek, a rundown district of Brussels with a
substantial Muslim population, which is described by some Belgian
officials as a "breeding ground for jihadists".
However, Abaaoud,
the 27-year-old of Moroccan descent, is now believed to be in Syria
where he has risen through the ranks of IS.

Omar Ismail Mostefai
The 29-year-old French national died in the attack at the Bataclan.
He had resided in Courcouronnes and Chartres, near Paris.
A
senior Turkish official has confirmed for the BBC that Mostefai entered
Turkey in 2013 and there was no record of him leaving the country.
The
official - who spoke on the condition of anonymity - said that in
October 2014 Turkey had received an information request regarding four
terror suspects from the French authorities.
He added that during
the official investigation, the Turkish authorities identified a fifth
individual, Omar Ismail Mostefai, and notified their French counterparts
twice - in December 2014 and June 2015.
"We have, however, not
heard back from France on the matter," the official said. He added that
it was only after the Paris attacks that the Turkish authorities
received an information request about Omar Ismail Mostefai from France.
Ahmad al-Mohammad
The 25-year-old from Syria's city of Idlib is believed to have died after he blew himself up at Stade de France stadium.
A Syrian passport bearing his name was found at the scene.
Investigators
are still trying to establish whether the passport is genuine - so this
may not be the actual identity of the attacker.
The Paris
prosecutor's office said fingerprints from the attacker matched those of
a person who came to Europe with migrants via the Greek island of
Leros.
Bilal Hadfi
The 20-year-old has been named as one of the attackers who died at Stade de France.
The French national was residing in Belgium.
Some reports suggest he once fought with IS in Syria.
Samy Amimour
The 28-year-old was one of the suicide bombers who blew himself up at the Bataclan.
The Frenchman, who lived near Paris, had been known to French intelligence services.
He
was charged with terror offences in 2012 over claims he had planned to
go to Yemen. He was placed under judicial supervision, but then dropped
off the radar, prompting the authorities to issue an international
arrest warrant.
Three of his relatives were reportedly arrested after the attacks.
Mohammed Abdeslam
The
brother of Salah and Brahim Abdeslam was arrested by Belgian police in
Molenbeek on Saturday, and named as a suspect by the French authorities.
However, he was released without charge on Monday.
His lawyer, Natalie Gallant, said he had only learnt on Monday about how his brother Brahim died.
