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.
At the concert hall, meanwhile, at least two attackers, young men wearing black clothes and strapped with tan suicide vests, walked calmly inside, witnesses said.
French foreign minister Laurent Fabius says France had the “legitimacy” to take action against Islamic State after Friday’s terror attacks in Paris.
At least one person lies writhing on the ground as scores more stream past, a few bloodied or limping.
She said France was more traumatised by these killings not just because more people had died than in January, but because the jihadists had targeted “all of us”, not just the Jewish community or journalists who had angered them. At least 13 people were killed there.
Officials have not conclusively connected the document to one of the two men who blew themselves up at the stadium.
The terrorist group attacked seven different sites in Paris which, included a stadium, a restaurant, a bar and a concert hall leaving 127 dead and 307 injured.
Police did not address the issue of whether other assailants were still at large.
Later, however, he learned that one of his friends was killed in the attack and another is in critical condition.
France remained on high alert.
Around 11pm – Mr Hollande placed the whole of France under a state of emergency and the French military were called into the centre of Paris. “There are several dozen dead, lots more wounded”. Justice Minister Koen Geens told the VRT network that the arrests came after a auto with Belgian license plates was seen close to the Bataclan theater.
President Francois Hollande vowed that France would wage “merciless” war on the Islamic State group, which claimed responsibility for the mayhem, as investigators raced to track down their accomplices and uncovered possible links to networks in Belgium and Syria.
On Friday night, Duval was on the metro train going through Republique.
She said she is now on edge after the terror attacks rocked the city she loves.

The victims at six attack sites – the Bataclan concert venue, a soccer stadium, and bawdy bars and restaurants in east Paris – included Nohemi Gonzalez, 23, a California State University design student spending her junior year overseas. The US market recovered in just over a month from a 12 percent decline after the September 11, 2001, attacks, he said, while the United Kingdom market rebounded in one day after a 1.4 percent fall the day of the 2005 London bombings. Turned away, he detonated his explosive belt outside the stadium’s Gate D at 9:20 p.m., killing a single passerby.
But while the terrorist team assigned to the stadium failed to cause massive bloodshed, the other two teams were finding greater success, though the routes and timing followed by one makes it hard to believe it was the only set of shooters involved.
People gather at a makeshift memorial in front of Le Carillon restaurant in the 10th district of Paris, on November 15, 2015. Nineteen sidewalk café diners are shot to death.
