French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said on Monday that authorities believe new terror attacks are being planned in France and in other European countries following the carnage in Paris.
“We know that operations were being prepared and are still being prepared, not only against France but other European countries too,” he said.
France would be living with the threat of terror attacks “for a long time”, he said.
Valls said he was struck by the fact that young people had been targeted in Friday’s attacks on a concert hall, bars and restaurants and outside the Stade de France stadium that left 129 people dead.
“Once again the terrorists have attacked France, the French people, young people. Many young people are dead,” he said. 
France’s prime minister says there have been “over 150 police raids” overnight in France.
Manuel Valls spoke on French radio RTL Monday morning, reaafirming President Francois Hollande’s declaration that “we are at war” against terrorism following Friday’s attacks in Paris.
Valls also warned that more attacks could hit “in the coming days, in the coming weeks.”
Alabama will refuse Syrian refugees
Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley has announced he is refusing Syrian refugees relocating to his state.
In a news release on Sunday Bentley said, “After full consideration of this weekend’s attacks of terror on innocent citizens in Paris, I will oppose any attempt to relocate Syrian refugees to Alabama through the US Refugee Admissions Program. As your governor, I will not stand complicit to a policy that places the citizens of Alabama in harm’s way.”
According to the release, Alabama Law Enforcement Agency is working with federal agencies to monitor any possible threats. To date there has been no credible intelligence of terror threats in Alabama. 
 
Official names 2 bombers in Paris attacks
Authorities have named two more of the suicide bombers responsible for the Friday the 13th terrorist rampage across Paris that killed 129 people and wounded hundreds more.
A judicial source speaking on condition of anonymity because she wasn't authorised to speak publicly said the 20-year-old Frenchman police identified as one of the three suicide bombers to strike at the Stade de France stadium was Bilal Hadfi.
A 31-year-old identified by police as the suicide bomber who detonated his explosive vest on Boulevard Voltaire in Paris was named as Brahim Abdeslam, the source said. Abdeslam is the older brother of 26-year-old Saleh Abdeslam, 26, who is currently the subject of an international manhunt.
A third suicide bomber, Ismael Mostefai, 29, had already been named by police, after being identified through remains found at the Bataclan music hall, another of the six separate attack sites across Paris and its suburbs.
Firecrackers and fear trigger scenes of panic in Paris
Firecrackers and exploding light bulbs and heaters triggered scenes of panic in Paris on Sunday, as rumours of fresh shootings sent people diving for cover and calling for police.
"We were just singing along with a group of young people when everyone started to run, so we ran too," said a 23-year-old who gave her name only as Laurine.
Along with hundreds of others, she had come to the Place de la Republique in central Paris to lay flowers and candles in memory of the 129 people killed in the neighbourhood in Friday's attacks.
Another young man said he heard a sound like an explosion and started to run.
But police told AFP the reason for the panic was firecrackers.
A few blocks away there were similar scenes when a heater or a light bulb exploded on a terrace, sowing panic as passers-by warned friends on social media of a new attack.
At one cafe targeted by gunmen on Friday, "Le Carillon", people shouted and ran.
A few hundred metres (yards) away, a few people jumped into the cold waters of the Ourcq canal, a security agent told AFP.
The mayor of the area, Christophe Girard, who was at Note-Dame cathedral attending a mass in memory of the 129 people who died in the attacks, said he received a text message saying there was "gunfire near the town hall".
He left the cathedral to "reassure and calm local residents", he told AFP.
 
US lowers flags to half-staff in honor of Paris victims
The United States flag will fly at half-staff at the White House and other official buildings across the country and abroad, until sunset Thursday to honour the dead in the Paris terror attacks.
President Barack Obama made the order on Sunday, two days after bombings and shootings killed at least 129 people in a wave of attacks in the French capital claimed by the Daesh group.
The Stars and Stripes will also be flown at half-staff at all US embassies and missions overseas.
Flags at the US Congress fluttered at half-staff Sunday in honor of the victims of the Paris terror attacks.
The new speaker of the House of Representatives, Paul Ryan, gave the order out of what he called "respect and solidarity."
The gesture of mourning will continue until Thursday at dusk.
 
France launches 'massive' airstrikes in Syria
French warplanes pounded the Daesh group's stronghold in Syria's Raqa on Sunday, destroying a command post and a training camp, the defence ministry said.
"The first target destroyed was used by Daesh as a command post, jihadist recruitment centre and arms and munitions depot. The second held a terrorist training camp," a ministry statement said.
Two Paris attackers were Frenchmen lived in Brussels
Two assailants who died in the Paris attacks were Frenchmen who had lived in Brussels, Belgian prosecutors said on Sunday.
The Belgian authorities are holding seven people for questioning in connection with the attacks, and investigators have found that two cars used in the operation were rented in Belgium, they added.
"It appears that two French nationals, who lived in Brussels ..., were identified as among the attackers who died on the spot," the federal prosecutor's office said in a statement.
"In addition, two cars registered in Belgium were found in Paris, one near the Bataclan and the other near Pere Lachaise," the statement said.
The Bataclan concert hall is where 89 people were killed, while Pere Lachaise, known for the cemetery where leading literary and other figures are buried, is nearby.
"The investigation shows that the two vehicles were rented at the beginning of the week in the Brussels area," the statement added.
It said that a total of seven people had been detained for questioning.
"Some of them may be put before an investigating magistrate in the next few hours," it added.
The prosecutors did not confirm whether all of the seven were arrested in Molenbeek.

Survivor says 'attackers were so young'

A French survivor of the rampage at Paris' Bataclan concert hall said he was struck by how young the attackers were.
Julien Pearce, journalist at Europe 1 radio, was at the Bataclan concert hall on Friday to attend the concert by the American rock band Eagles of Death Metal. He said when the three attackers stormed in "it took me few seconds to realise it was gunshots."
Pearce and his friends immediately got down on the ground to avoid the random shots, then ran and crawled into a tiny dark room next to the stage. He says "there was no exit, so we were just in another trap, less exposed, but still a trap."
Pearce said could discreetly look out and see one of the assailants. He says "he seemed very young. That's what struck me, his childish face, very determined, cold, calm, frightening."
Once the attackers reloaded, his group rang across the stage to the emergency exit, helping a wounded woman out. Looking back, he saw "dozens and dozens of entangled, bullet-riddled bodies in a pool of blood."

Up to 30 bodies yet to be identified

French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said on Sunday that 103 bodies had been identified from Friday's attacks in Paris, with 20 to 30 more still awaiting identification.
"They will be (identified) in the coming hours," said Valls outside the Ecole Militaire where a centre has been set up for the victims' families.
At least 129 people were killed, according to the latest official toll.
"These are not anonymous victims. They are lives, young people, who have been targeted while they spent a quiet evening in a cafe, or at a concert," Valls told reporters.
"No psychologist, no volunteer, no doctor can console them," he said of the grieving families.
Erdogan says world leaders to send 'strong, tough' terror message
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday said G20 leaders meeting in the Mediterranean resort of Antalya would deliver a "very strong, tough" message against terror after the deadly attacks in Paris.
"I believe that our stance against international terrorism will find its expression in a very strong, tough message at the G20 summit," Erdogan said after meeting US President Barack Obama just ahead of the formal opening of the summit. 

Holder of Syrian passport found in Paris attack sought asylum in Serbia

The holder of a Syrian passport found near the body of one of the gunmen who died in Friday night's attacks in Paris passed through Serbia last month where he sought asylum, the Serbian Interior Ministry said.

"One of the suspected terrorists, A.A., who is of interest to the French security agencies, was registered on the Presevo border crossing on October 7 this year, where he formally sought asylum," the ministry said in a statement.
The Presevo border crossing separates Serbia from Macedonia.
"Checks have confirmed that his details match those of the person who on October 3 was identified in Greece. There was no Interpol warrant issued against this person."
Greek authorities had said on Saturday the passport matched that used by a refugee who arrived on the Greek island of Leros on Oct. 3.
 
 US, Saudi leaders to meet after Paris attacks
US President Barack Obama will hold talks with The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on Sunday, a US official said, as world leaders seek a united response to the Paris assaults claimed by Daesh militants.
The US and Saudi leaders plan to meet on the sidelines of a two-day summit of the Group of 20 top economies in the heavily guarded Turkish Mediterranean resort of Antalya where the battle against militant violence is on the leaders' agenda, the official said.
The Paris attacks, which killed 129 people, have sent a jolt through the gathering, where leaders will try to forge a joint statement on the attacks and narrow a deep divide over conflict-riven Syria.
Washington and Riyadh are part of a US-led coalition that last year launched an air campaign targeting the Daesh group which controls swathes of territory in Syria and neighbouring Iraq.
 Car used in attacks found in Paris suburb: Police
A black Seat car used by gunmen who fired at people in restaurants during the attacks in Paris on Friday has been found in the eastern suburb of Montreuil, police said Sunday.
Six people close to Omar Ismail Mostefai, who took part in the killings at the Bataclan concert hall and the first of Friday's attackers to be identified, have been detained, including his father, brother and sister-in-law, judicial and police sources said.
 
Omar Ismail Mostefai: From petty criminal to cold-blooded terrorist
Omar Ismail Mostefai was known to police as nothing more than a petty criminal before he became the first gunman identified from Friday's attacks in Paris, which left at least 129 dead.

Identified by his finger, which was found among the rubble of the Bataclan concert hall, the 29-year-old was one of three men who blew himself up killing 89 people in the bloodiest scene of the carnage.
Born on November 21 1985, in the poor Paris suburb of Courcouronnes, Mostefai's criminal record shows eight convictions for petty crimes between 2004 and 2010, but no jail time.

Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said Mostefai had been singled out as a high-priority target for radicalisation in 2010 but, before Friday, he had "never been implicated in an investigation or a terrorist association".
The killer's father and 34-year-old brother were placed in custody on Saturday evening and their homes were searched.

Father, brother of one of Paris suicide attackers placed in custody 
Police took into custody on Saturday the father and brother of a French gunman linked to a string of deadly Paris attacks and were searching their homes, a source close to the probe told AFP.
The body of the 29-year-old French national was found and identified at the Bataclan music hall where 89 people were shot dead Friday when three gunmen wearing suicide vests opened fire on spectators in the bloodiest of a string of attacks in Paris blamed on militants.
Investigators were also searching the homes of friends and relatives of the Frenchman, another source close to the enquiry said.
The father's house is located in the small town of Romilly-sur-Seine, some 130 kilometres (80 miles) east of Paris, while his brother's is south of Paris in the Essonne region.
The brother, who is 34, contacted the police on his own initiative and was then taken into custody.
The Frenchman confirmed as one of the attackers was known to police as being close to radical but had never been linked to a terrorism enquiry, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said earlier Saturday.
He was identified via a severed fingertip.
Prosecutor Molins said seven gunmen were killed in the attacks, which were the work of three coordinated teams. Six of them blew themselves up while one was shot by police.
At least one man linked to Paris attacks registered as refugee in Greece
Greek police on Saturday said at least one man with a possible connection to the Paris attacks had registered as a refugee with Greek authorities earlier this year.
French authorities had asked their Greek counterparts to check the fingerprints of one man who died in the attacks, with a Syrian passport found next to him, in addition to the fingerprints of another man.
There were efforts to establish whether both had registered in Greece, the main entry point into Europe for Syrian refugees.
The Greek minister for citizen protection, Nikos Toskas, said one of the men had been registered on the Greek island of Leros in October.
"We confirm that the (Syrian) passport holder came through the Greek island of Leros on October 3 where he was registered under EU rules," he said a statement.
French police said the passport was found "near the body of one of the attackers" during the investigation into the main site of Friday's carnage, at the Bataclan concert hall where 89 people were killed.
The authenticity of the passport was being checked, but its discovery indicates a possible Syrian connection in Friday night's violence, which also saw three suicide blasts outside the Stade de France and gun attacks on restaurants and cafes in Paris. 
Greek police are not ruling out that the Syrian passport changed hands before the attacks.
Syrian President Assad blames France 
Syrian President Bashar Al Assad reacted on Saturday to the deadly attacks in Paris, taking France to task and calling on it to change policies that he says have contributed to the "spread of terrorism".
In a meeting with a delegation of French lawmakers in Damascus the day after the attack, Assad said France's "mistaken policies... have contributed to the spread of terrorism".
"France has got to know what we live with in Syria."
He said French President Francois Hollande "should change his policy."
"The question that is being asked throughout France today is, was France's policy over the past five years the right one? The answer is no."
France has been a leading supporter of the Syrian opposition since soon after protests against Assad's rule broke out in 2011.
Although Assad has hosted numerous right-wing parliamentary delegations from France, Paris remains staunchly opposed to his rule in Syria.
Hollande recently insisted that Assad "cannot be part of the solution" to Syria's brutal war.

Death toll rises to 129: Prosecutor

Paris prosecutor Francois Molins has said that 129 people were killed in the Paris terror attacks and 352 people were injured, adding that the death toll will rise.
Among the dead, 89 victims were killed in the attack on Bataclan concert hall alone.
He said 99 of the injured are in critical condition.
The prosecutor added that the attackers at Bataclan concert hall mentioned Syria, Iraq during the siege.
About the attackers, the prosecutor said seven 'terrorists' dead. They were divided into three teams.

Arrests in Brussels: Minister

Several people were arrested in Brussels on Saturday during police raids connected to the attacks in Paris, Belgian Justice Minister Koen Geens said.
Geens said on RTBF television that these arrests "can be seen in connection with a grey Polo car rented in Belgium" found near the concert hall in the French capital where scores of people were killed.

Tourist sites closed in France

French authorities have closed the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum and other top tourist sites in Paris until further notice following deadly terror attacks.
A Louvre spokeswoman said the museum opened as normal on Saturday with enhanced security, but was ordered closed by the Culture Ministry after President Francois Hollande called for national day of mourning. Isabelle Esnous, a spokeswoman for the Eiffel Tower, said the monument did not open as a security precaution.
The Culture Ministry said "public cultural sites" were closed in the Paris region on Saturday, without specifying.

Syrian passport found on body of Paris attacker: Police

A Syrian passport was found on the body of one of the suicide bombers who blew themselves up next to French national stadium Stade de France, French tv BFMTV reported on Saturday.
An investigation is on to cross-check the information in the ID.

Daesh claims responsibilty

Daesh claimed responsibility on Saturday for attacks in Paris, saying it sent fighters strapped with suicide bombing belts and carrying machine guns to various locations in the heart of the capital.
The attacks were designed to show France would remain a top target for the militant group as long as the country continued its current policies, the group said in a statement.

Gunmen and bombers killed at least 127 people in Friday's attacks.
Daesh earlier distributed an undated video threatening to attack France if bombings of its fighters continued.
The group's foreign media arm, Al Hayat Media Centre, made threats through several militants who called on French Muslims to carry out attacks.
"As long as you keep bombing you will not live in peace. You will even fear travelling to the market," said one of the militants, identified as Abu Maryam the Frenchman.
French President Francois Hollande said on Saturday the attacks in Paris were "an act of war" organised from abroad by Daesh with internal help.
The location of the Daesh fighters in the video was not clear and it was not possible to determine when it was filmed, but the message was unmistakable.
The militants, who appeared to be French citizens, sat cross-legged in a group wearing fatigues and holding weapons in what appeared to be a wooded area.
The video showed the militants burning passports.
"Indeed you have been ordered to fight the infidel wherever you find him - what are you waiting for? There are weapons and cars available and targets ready to be hit," said Abu Maryam.
Another militant, identified as Abu Salman the Frenchman, said: "Even poison is available, so poison the water and food of at least one of the enemies of Allah."
"Terrorise them and do not allow them to sleep due to fear and horror," he added.
Foreign fighters who join Daesh are seen as especially dangerous because Western passports enable them to live in and travel to Western countries undetected.
"Faced with war, the country must take appropriate action," Hollande said, without saying what that meant.

In an eyewitness report posted on Europe1 website, Julien Pierce, a journalist said "two or three individuals, who are not wearing masks and armed with kalachnikov entered the hall while the concert was underway and started blindly shooting at the crowd".
In a brief statement on television, the French president declared a state of emergency across the country and the borders were to be closed.
 
"Some places will be closed, traffic will be banned and searches may be conducted throughout the Ile-de-France," he said, adding about 1,500 military reinforcements have been deployed "to ensure that no other attack can take place".
In addition, the capital schools and universities will be closed on Saturday.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the Paris attacks, but according to the news channel BFMTV, the terrorists shouted "It's for Syria".
The likely coordinated attacks came as France, a member of the US-led coalition combating the Daesh in Syria and Iraq, struck the group's strategic targets this week.
On high alert for terrorist attacks, the French government raised the anti-terrorism alert to maximum and additional thousands of security forces have been poured across the country to protect sensitive sites.
Hollande, who cancelled his participation at the G20 summit, will head a defense meeting on Saturday morning after the deadly attacks has shaken the country's security policy ahead of the high-profile international conference on climate scheduled for the end of this month.
