Aitboulahcen is believed to be the first female suicide bomber in Western Europe.
The French-Moroccan citizen was born and grew up in Paris, reports said.
She is understood to have worked at a construction company in the French capital until 2012.
Police investigating the attacks raided a property northeast of Paris where Aitboulahcen had lived with her mother and siblings.
Prior to the raid, the mother described her daughter's radicalisation as "brainwashing".
Her brother described how she had suddenly become radicalised about six months ago and began wearing a full-faced veil.
Before that she had lived a secular life, drinking alcohol and rarely visiting a mosque.
He said she had left home three weeks ago, adding: "She was unstable, she created her own bubble. She wasn't looking to study religion, I have never even seen her open a Koran."
It has also emerged the 26-year-old had been under police surveillance because her name had been linked to a drug-trafficking case.
Her mother and brother have both been taken in by police for questioning.
