They ( the terrorist) want to be known for their deed, become a martyr, therefore they carry identification, or they carry them in case they need to get away if they survive...
This - what's the point of doing a terrorist attack unless the perpetrators can be identified. It defeats the whole object not to carry one - plus as they were trying to enter the stadium it's obvious ID to carry to try and gain entry, but that comes second to the main reason of wanting to be known as a group/martyr/mental nutter.
Passports survive because they're designed to - the whole point of a passport is ID someone whether dead or alive, so they're designed to withstand air collisions, explosions and the like. Add to that the info TrueBrit has explane about how laminar surfaces blow away from the initial explosions/demolitions and what have you.

Why don't people think Logically here?
If you were about to do some deed such as attack someone or a Group of people, wouldn't you want a getaway plan?

Bombs do fail, as do other plans. If she/he pulled a rip-cord and no 'boom' he/she MAY want an escape route (passport included) so they could start working on the next plan. Not hard, just a little common sense required.
President François Hollande of France said around midnight that “terrorist attacks of an unprecedented scale” were occurring in Paris and added, “It is a horror.”
He said a state of emergency was being declared and border controls had been increased to ensure that the attackers could not leave the country.

Muslims don't get the association of suicide with 72 virgins, either.
Or do you have any more "jokes" about how I should blow myself up.

Dishes it out, but can't take it.
And instead of the Muslim gaining upon entrance to heaven being offered virgins it's more likely that they are offered food, raisins specifically.

Man, they are some cheap ass hires.
Seriously, they would blow themselves up for some raisins?
Raisin bran? Maybe.
Which was obviously a threat that you then retracted to be a joke.
