the same fate as France. The message was delivered by a man described as “Al Ghareeb the Algerian”.

He warned Europe more attacks were coming.

The message stated: “We say to the states that take part in the crusader campaign that, by God, you will have a day God willing, like France's and by God, as we struck France in the centre of its abode in Paris, then we swear thatwe will strike America at its centre in Washington."

Meanwhile, it was reported that one of the suicide bombers involved in the Bataclan assault had featured in a previous terrorism investigation, but slipped the net.

Samy Amimour, a 28year-old Frenchman, was charged in a terror probe in 2012 and placed under judicial supervision but fell off the radar.

Turkish authorities flagged one of the attackers – Omar Ismail Mostefai – to French counterparts last year, but got no response until after Friday’s events.

Hours after the attacks, security services missed a chance to detain Salah Abdeslam, 26, at the centre of a manhunt after he rented a car used to carry gunmen to the Bataclan.

His brother Brahim has been named as one of the suicide attackers. Another brother, Mohamed, was released without charge yesterday after he was detained at the weekend. Two of seven people held in Belgium have been charged with being part of a terror group.

In Germany there were revelations that an investigation has been launched into claims an Algerian man warned fellow refugees at a shelter of an imminent attack in Paris. An attacker who blew himself up outside the Stade de France was found with a Syrian passport in the name of 25-year-old Ahmad Al Mohammad. His fingerprints matched those of someone who passed through Greece in October. Overnight raids around France saw individuals detained and dozens of weapons seized.

Interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve said: “This is just the beginning. These actions will continue. The reply of the republic will be solid and total. Those who want to hurt the republic, they will be attacked, they will be dealt with, and who helped them.”

“They will be attacked, dealt with, and who helped them”
