Chilling new images have emerged of suicide bomber Bilal Hadfi, who blew himself up outside the Stade de France during the deadly Paris attacks on Friday, which killed 132 people.
A source close to the investigation identified Hadfi as one of the seven suicide bombers who carried out the horrific attacks in Paris. Hadfi is believed to have detonated his suicide vest at the Stade de France, where soccer fans had gathered to watch the France vs Germany match.
Belgian Bilal Hadfi had spent time fighting with IS in Syria before returning to Europe and carrying out the barbaric attack in Paris .
Days after the attack, Hadfi’s Facebook page, which shows him carrying a Kalashnikov, drinking cocktails has gone viral.
The profile, which has now been archived, dates back to 2011, with posts from 2013 referencing the 2007 riots - above the press photo of a group of hooded men stand a top a police car he writes ‘F*** the police’.
On Friday, the first attack was at the Stade de France, where President Francois Hollande was watching the international friendly along with 80,000 spectators.
There was an initial suicide bombing at the entrance to the stadium where a suicide bomber is said to have approached the gate with a match ticket about 15 minutes after the game started but was turned away by a security guard, according to a stadium source.
The attacker is then said to have walked away before detonating his explosives near Gate D, where one other person was killed.
Several minutes later it was baby-faced Hadfi who reportedly detonated his suicide vest at a nearby gate, killing only himself.
Another terrorist then blew himself up outside the stadium but also failed to kill anyone other than himself.
