A reminder of what French President Francois Hollande said in the aftermath of the attacks. He said his country would be "merciless" in its response to Islamic State, vowing to "use all means within the law.. on every battleground here and abroad together with our allies".

With the news that French aircraft have pummelled targets in the Syrian city of Raqqa, he appears to have backed up his strong words with action.

The Paris attacks have thrown the spotlight on the Brussels suburb of Molenbeek, which has seen a series of raids. Several arrests have been made and one of the attackers came from the area, Belgian prosecutors said. This man is a resident.

"There are several small problems with some youth. They shouldn't be left to fend for themselves. The state has to review its integration policies. They have to do something for these particular young people."

Police questioned and released Salah Abdeslam, the suspect wanted in connection with Friday's attacks, AP reports. He was questioned when police pulled over a car near the Belgian border, police and security sources told the agency.

French aircraft have carried out strikes on the Syrian city of Raqqa, a stronghold of Islamic State militants, the defence ministry says. A command post and training camp were destroyed, a statement said.

The BBC's security correspondent Gordon Corera says investigators are now pursuing an trail that stretches across Europe.

"Tracing back the Paris operatives to whoever organised them will be crucial in order to understand what else might be planned. 

"These attackers do not appear to have been people simply inspired by IS, but rather trained operatives. 

"And the fact that Western intelligence services do not appear to have picked up any signs of this plot from their human and electronic sources will only increase concerns."

Many buildings and monuments have been lit up in the colours of the tricolour in recent days to pay tribute to the dead and wounded.

Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy has told French TV that all those on an official watchlist of suspected radicals should be forced to wear "an electronic tag". He is widely expected to run for the presidency again in 2017.

The British ambassador to France, Sir Peter Ricketts, has said that it is hard to be precise about the number of injured Britons as people are in various hospitals across Paris.

Speaking to BBC News, he said that the British Embassy had set up a crisis team to deal with calls from concerned family members, and that the embassy was in touch with "all the people we are aware of".

Paris hospitals have said that the official death toll remains at 129 people, and not the 132 as had been earlier reported by AFP news agency.

Of the 80 who were reported critically injured, the latest is that: 

• Three people died on Saturday
• 42 are still in intensive care 
• 35 are no longer in intensive care 
• 415 persons were admitted following the attacks, 218 have now been discharged.

Although the service at Notre Dame cathedral in Paris has now finished, large crowds have gathered outside to pay their respects.

During an 80-minute service, Archbishop of Paris Andre Vingt-Trois called on the country not to "provoke aggression" but to remember the dead, despite the "barbaric" attack on the country. 

Turkish authorities foiled a plot to stage a "major" attack in Istanbul on the same day as the deadly gun and suicide attacks in Paris, a senior official has told AFP news agency.

Police on Friday detained five people in Istanbul, the source said.

Jack McNiven from Guildford was shot in the attack on Le Carillion bar. His father Peter described how he had desperately been trying to contact his son on Friday.

"About half an hour later we got a phone call from him and the line kept breaking up and we discovered that he was in an ambulance and one of the paramedics was holding the phone to his lips and he said, 'I am OK but I have been hit by a bullet but I am OK and there are a lot who are a lot worse than I am."

The Place de la Republique is not the only place to see panicky scenes on Sunday evening. Our reporters in Paris say there is a tense atmosphere in the city.

Between 15,000 and 20,000 people have attended a memorial in the Danish capital Copenhagen, police say. 

Among those attending was Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen, who said:

"What is the strongest response we can have? To keep on living, and to refuse to be intimidated. If we no longer dare to sit at a cafe terrace, then we have lost."

Dramatic testimony continues to emerge of Friday's attacks. Musician Thomas Tran Dinh was in the Bataclan theatre, when gunmen opened fire on concert-goers killing nearly 90 people.

"I took my chance and I ran out - there were bodies everywhere, drenched in blood. They shot the guys who tried to escape earlier."

Police have identified two more of the suicide attackers from Friday night. Both were French nationals living in Belgium, one was 20, the other 31. Their names have not yet been released.

Earlier, police identified Ismael Omar Mostefai as one of the seven attackers to die during Friday's assaults.

Three people wounded in Friday's attacks have died from their injuries, bringing the death toll to 132, hospital officials say. Many remain in critical condition.

The BBC Turkey Correspondent Mark Lowen says a Syrian passport found at the scene of the attack has big implications.

"The discovery of a Syrian passport near the body of one of the attackers has thrown a spotlight back on the migrant route - and on Turkey as the key transit country. 

"The authenticity of the passport is still unclear: Frontex, the EU's border agency, warned earlier this year that Syrian passports were being forged as they were more likely to be accepted for asylum. 

"The fear for the genuine refugees will be that this case could turn the political narrative against them, fuelling those who say Europe's doors should now be shut."

French President Francois Hollande has said he wants the state of emergency declared after the Paris attacks to last three months, parliamentary sources have told AFP news agency.

Any extension to a state of emergency beyond 12 days requires parliamentary approval.
