There was a ninth man involved in Friday's deadly Paris attacks, Le Figaro  reported Tuesday evening, citing investigators.

The investigators so far believed there were nine terrorists involved in the attacks, the report said, as the investigation conducted by the Anti-Terrorism Sub Directorate (SDAT), the Criminal Brigade of Paris and The General Directorate for Internal Security is going on.

"A third man was on board" the vehicle which was used to conduct bloodshed on cafe terraces in the 10th and 11th District of Paris, Le Figaro  said, citing a police source.

"Investigators are now certain after viewing CCTV tapes. The vehicle was found on the night of Sunday to Monday, around 1 a.m., abandoned in Montreuil-sous-Bois, with three Kalashnikovs on board," the daily reported.

The investigators also made progress in tracing the Syrian passport found next to the French national stadium Stade de France with the name Ahmad al Mohammad, who was killed several months ago as a former soldier of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, the report said. The fingerprints of the suicide bomber matched those collected during a check in Greece in October 2015.

Simultaneous shootings and explosions at restaurants, Bataclan concert hall and the national stadium in Paris on Friday night last week killed at least 132 people and injured hundreds of others.
