Paris attacks 'planned from Syria' - France PM Valls

He added that the authorities believed new terror attacks were being planned in France and other European countries.

Meanwhile, two more attackers have been named, as well as the five already identified.

A total of 129 people died in the attacks on bars and restaurants, a concert hall and the Stade de France.

France is to hold a nationwide minute of silence at midday local time (11:00 GMT) for the victims.

A huge manhunt is under way for surviving members and accomplices of the Islamist group that carried out the attack.

The prime minister said more than 150 raids on militant targets had been carried out in different areas of France early on Monday.

"We are making use of the legal framework of the state of emergency to question people who are part of the radical jihadist movement... and all those who advocate hate of the republic," he said.

Police sources told news agencies that properties in the Paris suburb of Bobigny, as well as the cities of Grenoble, Toulouse and Lyon, had been targeted.

Reports said large amounts of weapons were found and several people arrested.

A building in the Brussels district of Molenbeek was also raided, Belgian media reported.

Seven attackers died in the assault on the French capital, most of them after detonating suicide belts.

Five were identified over the weekend, and on Monday another two were named by the Paris prosecutor as Ahmad al-Mohammad and Samy Amimour.
