Three-hundred-and fifty-two people are believed to have been injured during Friday’s attacks in Paris, capital of France, with about 99 of them in critical condition.
Francois Molins, Paris prosecutor, disclosed this at a news conference on Saturday, saying the incidents were coordinated by three different teams and all the attackers had automatic Kalashnikov weapons.
He said one of the attackers was from a Parisian suburb and had been known for past criminal acts, adding that another had a Syrian passport.
“We have to find who these people are, who their accomplices are, who ordered this, where they come from, how they were financed,” he said.
Belgium, America, Portugal and Sweden have all said some of their nationals are among those killed but details have not been released.
Meanwhile investigation is ongoing across the world and arrests have been made in different parts of Europe.
Dutch authorities grounded a France-bound airliner at Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport after a threatening tweet was received concerning the flight.
A police spokesman said that authorities had been searching the plane, operated by Franco-Dutch airline Air FranceKLM, for about an hour.
The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the incidents, threatening to launch more attacks in the days ahead.
