Second Paris attacker likely to have crossed Greece - gov't sources
A second man suspected to have been among the attackers in Paris on Friday is very likely to have entered Europe though Greece, Greek government sources said.
Earlier, a Greek government minister said the holder of a Syrian passport found near the body of one of the gunmen who died in the attacks in Paris had passed through the Greek island of Leros in October.
"It is very likely that a second suspect also passed through Greece. The investigation is continuing," one of the sources said.

Michael Hirsh writes in Politico Magazine how the Paris attacks have reawakened martial feelings absent since 9/11. -
