At least 129 people killed in attacks at six locations across Paris.
352 people were injured, 99 of those critically, meaning the death toll could still rise.
One attacker has been identified as 29-year-old French man Ismail Omar Mostefai. He had been arrested eight times. Security services believed Mostefai at high-risk of radicalisation since 2010.
A manhunt is underway for accomplices, with several arrests in Belgium linked to the attacks. It is unclear if the individuals arrested were gunmen.
Kalashnikovs and fingerprints have reportedly been found in a suspected getaway car that was found abandoned in east Paris.
Islamic State has claimed responsibility and French President Francois Hollande calls the attacks an "act of war".

Update: Holder of passport found after attacks crossed into Serbia
By
The holder of the Syrian passport found at the scene of the Paris attack crossed into Serbia on October 7 seeking asylum, the Serbian Interior Ministry told Reuters.
The passport's authenicity has not been confirmed, and it is not clear whether the holder of the passport was involved in the attacks.
"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.

"When we talk about war ... it's not a war against the Muslims or Islam or any religion," the French ambassador in Australia Christophe Lecourtier told reporters outside At Andrew's Cathedral in Sydney on Sunday afternoon AEST.
France and Australia are fighting a war to protect the shared values forged in the muddy trenches of the Great War, the French ambassador said.
"Australia is one of these countries that share the same values as France because we forged them together in the muddy trenches of northern France.
"We know what we fight," Mr Lecourtier said. "After a period of mourning, France shall never surrender," he said.
