Friday's attacks
Friday night's attacks in Paris were the worst atrocity in France since World War II.
Six locations were targeted and 129 people were killed.
A suicide bomber activated an explosive belt near a gate of the Stade de France sports stadium in the northern suburb of Saint-Denis, where President Francois Hollande and the German foreign minister were watching a friendly soccer international. The explosion killed the bomber and a passer-by.
Outside the Stade de France, a second suicide bomber detonated a bomb, killing himself. A third suicide bomber killed himself near the stadium.
In the 10th district of Paris, at the crossroads of rue Bichat and rue Alibert, a gunman shot at clients sitting on the terraces of the Le Carillon bar and the Petit Cambodge restaurant, killing 15 and severely injuring ten.
Gunmen opened fire in front of the bar A La Bonne Biere at the intersection of rue Fontaine au Roi and rue Faubourg du Temple in the 11th district, killing five people and severely injuring eight.
Gunmen killed 19 people sitting on the terrace of the restaurant La Belle Equipe in nearby rue de Charonne. Nine people were also severely injured.
A suicide bomber killed himself inside the restaurant Le Comptoir Voltaire on boulevard Voltaire, also in the 11th district, injuring one person severely.
Several gunmen entered the Bataclan concert hall during a concert by the Eagles of Death Metal and shot indiscriminately at the crowd, killing around 89 people and wounding many.
The so-called Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attacks.
Investigation
In a sign that at least one gunman might have escaped, a source close to the investigation said a Seat car believed to have been used by the attackers had been found in the eastern Paris suburb of Montreuil with three Kalashnikov rifles inside.
The investigation led swiftly to Belgium after police discovered that two of the cars used by the Islamist militants had been rented in the Brussels region.
Belgian officials had arrested seven people in Brussels by yesterday.
However, one of the people who had hired the cars slipped through the fingers of the police. He was pulled over on the French-Belgian border on Saturday, but later released.
French police carried out nearly 170 searches and arrested 23 people in raids overnight and more than 100 people have been placed under house arrest.
The Mastermind
French officials have named Abdelhamid Abaaoud, from Molenbeek, Brussels as the alleged mastermind of the attacks.
Abaaoud has been linked to a foiled attack in Thalys in August, and a foiled attack on Villejuif churches in April.
Manhunt
French police launched an international hunt for a Belgian-born man they believe helped organise the assaults with two of his brothers.
Salah Abdeslam, 26, has been described as "dangerous".
A major raid is under way in Brussels aimed at arresting the 26-year-old.
Although he was born in Brussels, French authorities said he was a French national.
One of his brothers died in the attacks, while the second was released without charge after being questioned in Belgium.
The Attackers
French prosecutors today said they had identified two more attackers, including a Syrian and a Frenchman who was previously charged in a "terrorist" case.
A suicide bomber who blew himself up outside the Stade de France stadium is believed to be Syrian Ahmad Al Mohammad from Idlib.
A statement from the prosecutor's office said the Syrian passport found in that name near the body "remains to be verified", but that fingerprints matched those taken in Greece in October.
The second was 28-year-old Samy Amimour, from the suburb of Drancy outside Paris.
He was involved in the massacre of 89 people in the Bataclan concert hall.
Amimour "is known to anti-terrorist investigators for being charged on October 19, 2012 for conspiracy to commit terrorism" over a planned attack in Yemen that was foiled.
He violated his judicial supervision in 2013, prompting judges to issue an international arrest warrant.
Three members of Amimour's family were taken into custody early on Monday, said the statement.
Ismael Omar Mostefai, 29, from Chartres, southwest of Paris, was identified by the print from one of his fingers that was severed when his suicide vest exploded.
French media named the two other French assailants as Bilal Hadfi and Ibrahim Abdeslam.
French Response
France has been bombing IS positions in Iraq and Syria for months as part of a US-led operation.
It has now vowed to destroy the group. Yesterday, French jets launched their biggest raids in Syria to date, hitting its stronghold in Raqqa.
France in Mourning
France has declared three days of national mourning.
Over the weekend, thousands of people thronged to makeshift memorials at the sites where the attacks took place, laying flowers and lighting candles to remember the dead.

A minute of silence was held across Europe at 11am today as a mark of respect.
Victims
About 103 of the victims have been identified, including many young people and many foreigners.
French President Francois Hollande said 19 nationalities were represented among the victims of the attacks.
