| France in shock after Islamist attacks kill 129 | |  By Ingrid Melander and Marine Pennetier PARIS (Reuters) - French prosecutors said on Saturday that three coordinated teams of gunmen and suicide bombers carried out a wave of attacks across Paris that killed 129 people in what President Francois Hollande called an "act of war" by Islamic State. Hollande declared a state of emergency, ordering police and troops into the streets, and set three days of official mourning as a stunned nation sought to comprehend the simultaneous assault on restaurants, a concert hall and the national soccer stadium on a busy Friday evening. As a cross-border investigation gathered pace, prosecutors said the slaughter - claimed by Islamic State as revenge for French military action in Syria and Iraq - appeared to involve a multinational team with links to the Middle East, Belgium and possibly Germany as well as home-grown French roots.

| Assailant in Paris attacks identified, relatives questioned | |  French police have identified one of the assailants in the coordinated attacks in Paris as Ismael Omar Mostefai, a 29-year- old French national, and seven of his relatives are being questioned, sources and French media said on Sunday. Authorities had a dossier on Mostefai that marked him as a potential Islamist militant. Mostefai was one of the gunmen who blew himself up in a Paris concert hall where most of the 129 deaths from the attacks late on Friday took place.

| Paris attacks could change NATO priorities - Russian deputy minister | |  Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said the attacks by gunmen and suicide bombers across Paris could change priorities in Washington and other NATO capitals. "The world is changing, and this shock, the shake-up that took place in Paris will probably ... change a little bit the scale of priorities of our colleagues in Washington in other NATO capitals," he said when asked whether the attack would bring the U.S. and Russia closer together.

| Israel gives France intelligence on Paris attackers - media | |  Israel's spy services are helping France investigate the Paris gun and bomb attacks, Israeli media said, with one radio station suggesting the assistance drew on surveillance of militant groups in Syria and Iraq. Israel had no advance warning of Friday's rampage that killed at least 129 people, but within hours of it happening gave France information about some of the Islamic State militants who claimed to have carried it out, the top-rated television station Channel Two said, quoting an unnamed senior Israeli official. Without providing details, Channel Two said Israeli intelligence saw a "clear operational link" between the attack in the French capital, Thursday's Beirut suicide bombings and the Oct. 31 downing of a Russian airliner in the Egyptian Sinai.

| Fight against Islamic State dominates as world leaders meet in Turkey | | | By Matt Spetalnick and Lidia Kelly BELEK, Turkey (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama and other world leaders arrived in Turkey on Sunday for a summit that has taken on new urgency after attacks in Paris pushed the fight against Islamic State militants to the top of the agenda. Obama, who called the attacks "an outrageous attempt to terrorize civilians" on the eve of his departure, faces the question of how the West should respond now Islamic State poses a clear threat far beyond its strongholds in Syria and Iraq. Washington already expects France to retaliate by taking on a larger role in the U.S.-led coalition's bombing campaign against Islamic State. |
| South Korea vows no tolerance after violent protest in Seoul | |  By Jack Kim SEOUL (Reuters) - The South Korean government vowed on Sunday to crack down on any more violent protests, a day after dozens were arrested during a rally against labour reforms, the largest street protest of President Park Geun-hye's term. "The government was fully prepared to guarantee a lawful and peaceful rally, but some people came prepared with illegal equipment such as steel pipes and conducted a violent protest," Justice Minister Kim Hyun-woong told a news conference. "These activities were a grave challenge to law and order and public authority, and they will not be tolerated." The police arrested 51 people and are questioning them on various charges including illegal protest, assaulting police officers and destroying public equipment.

| Bangladesh aims to rein in poverty to below 14 pct by 2021 | |  By Serajul Quadir DHAKA (Reuters) - Bangladesh aims to cut its poverty rate to less than 14 percent by 2021 from 22.4 percent now, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said on Sunday, as the country sets it sights on becoming a middle-income nation. Hasina was speaking at the opening of a two-day meeting where Bangladesh will seek up to $12 billion in assistance from funding partners to develop its ramshackle infrastructure. About 40 representatives of bodies such as the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Department for International Development, the European Union and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) attended the event.

| World shows solidarity, tightens security after Paris attacks | |  By Guy Faulconbridge and Sarah Young LONDON (Reuters) - World leaders responded to deadly attacks in Paris with defiant pledges of solidarity and Europe tightened security after Islamic State said it was behind an assault by gunmen and bombers that left at least 129 dead in the French capital. From Barack Obama to Vladimir Putin and across Europe and the Middle East, leaders expressed their condolences to French President Francois Hollande who said the attacks amounted to an act of war against France.

| College student from California studying abroad killed in Paris attacks | |  By Tori Richards LONG BEACH, Calif. (Reuters) - A California university student who was studying design in France was killed in an attack on a restaurant in Paris, making her the first American confirmed dead in the assault at several sites in the French capital, school officials said on Saturday. Nohemi Gonzalez, 23, was a junior at California State University, Long Beach, just south of Los Angeles, and was studying for a semester at the Strate College of Design in a suburb of Paris, said CSULB spokesman Michael Uhlenkamp. On Friday night, several sites around Paris were targeted in a coordinated assault by gunmen and bombers in what the Paris public prosecutor said killed at least 129 people and wounded more than 350, of whom nearly 100 remain in critical condition.

| Clinton plays defense on Iraq, Wall Street at U.S. Democratic debate | |  By John Whitesides and Amanda Becker DES MOINES, Iowa (Reuters) - U.S. Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton played defense over her 2003 vote backing the U.S. invasion of Iraq and inched away from President Barack Obama on Syria and the rise of Islamic State militants during a contentious debate on Saturday. Clinton's rivals for the White House, Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley, took a more aggressive tone than in their first debate last month.

| We'll reform in time for Rio Olympics - Russia | |  By Jack Stubbs MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia has set out a three-month road map to clean up its act, with the nation's Olympic Committee spearheading efforts to ensure a doping scandal does not prevent honest athletes from competing at the 2016 Olympics. The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) voted overwhelmingly on Friday to suspend the Russian Athletics Federation (ARAF) following allegations of widespread and state-sponsored doping. The allegations, made by a special commission of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), have caused the country's biggest sporting scandal in several decades and could cost it a place at next year's Olympics in Rio.

| Sporting world mourns for Paris in wake of attacks | |  By Julien Pretot PARIS (Reuters) - All major sporting events in the Paris region were suspended on Saturday as France mourned the victims of the attacks in the capital city the night before that left 129 people dead and 352 wounded. Before the Euro 2016 soccer playoff between Sweden and Denmark at the Friends Arena in Stockholm, the stadium was lit up in red, white and blue. Both teams wore black armbands and, led by Sweden and Paris St Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, observed a minute's silence.

| Euro 2016 in France must not be cancelled - organisers | |  The Euro 2016 finals in France should not be cancelled even though the risk levels have gone up, the head of the organising committee said on Saturday following the attacks in Paris. Islamic State claimed responsibility after 129 people were killed and 352 wounded on Friday, saying it sent militants strapped with suicide bombing belts and carrying machine guns to various locations in the heart of the French capital. "The risk had gone one level up in January, it has just gone higher," Euro 2016 chief Jacques Lambert told French radio RTL.

| Our sport may not have many tomorrows, warns Coe | |  Sebastian Coe has conceded that unless he and his fellow leaders fully grasp the enormity of the crisis in their sport, there are "unlikely to be many tomorrows for athletics". In his Sunday Telegraph newspaper column, the president of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) said he and his colleagues could "almost certainly" have done more to get to the heart of the scandal that has rocked the sport. Coe, writing at the end of a dramatic week which saw the IAAF provisionally suspend Russia following a report from the World Anti-Doping Agency that uncovered evidence of state-controlled doping in the country, added it had been a "horror show" for athletics.

| Global markets brace for short-term hit after Paris attacks | |  By Christopher McCall and Hideyuki Sano SYDNEY/TOKYO (Reuters) - Global stocks are set for a short-term sell-off on Monday after Islamist militants launched coordinated attacks across Paris that killed 129 people, but analysts said a prolonged economic impact or market reaction was unlikely. President Francois Hollande has declared a state of emergency, ordering police and troops into the streets, and set three days of official mourning after the attacks he called an "act of war" by Islamic State. "History will tell us that if the economic impact is limited - and I think it will be - that markets will quickly recover and go on to focus on other things," Oliver, who is also head of strategy at the A$156 billion ($111 billion) wealth management firm.

| Timeline of Paris attacks according to public prosecutor | |  Gunmen and bombers carried out a wave of attacks on restaurants, a concert hall and near a sports stadium across Paris on Friday in a deadly rampage claimed by Islamic State that killed 129 people and wounded 352, of which 99 remain in a critical condition. Following is a timeline of the events in local time (GMT +1) given by French prosecutor Francois Molins at a news conference on Saturday. Friday Nov 13 2120 - A suicide bomber activates an explosive belt near a gate of the sports stadium Stade de France in the northern suburb of Saint-Denis, where President Francois Hollande and the German foreign minister were watching a friendly soccer international.

| Jordan says mass killer was mentally disturbed, not a jihadist | |  By Suleiman Al-Khalidi AMMAN (Reuters) - Jordan said on Saturday that a police officer who went on a shooting spree, killing five people including two American police trainers, was psychologically disturbed and not linked to any radical Islamist group. Interior Minister Salameh Hamad told reporters the 29-year-old officer, Anwar Abu Zeid, had faced financial problems and was under severe mental stress before he began to fire at foreign trainers last Monday at the U.S.-funded King Abdullah Training Centre near Amman. Security sources had earlier told Reuters on condition of anonymity there was growing evidence of radical Islamist influences on Abu Zeid.

| Disbelief, panic as militants cause carnage in Paris a second time | |  By Geert De Clercq and Marine Pennetier PARIS (Reuters) - It should have been a Friday night like any other in Paris, with locals and visitors watching a show, enjoying a good meal or shrugging off the cares of the week over a relaxed drink. "Many of them were covered with blood, people were screaming," she added, sitting on a bench with a friend and recalling how one young man emerged from the concert hall with the bloody imprint of a hand on his shirt. Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the gun and bomb assaults on the concert hall, a sports stadium and restaurants as a response to France's role in the U.S.-led coalition fighting in Syria.

| France to go ahead with climate summit, with tough security | |  By Emmanuel Jarry PARIS (Reuters) - France plans to go ahead with a global climate change summit in Paris at the end of the month, the prime minister said on Saturday, despite a wave of deadly attacks on Friday night that killed 127 people in the capital. The conference "will be held because it's an essential meeting for humanity," Prime Minister Manuel Valls told TF1 television on Saturday evening. About 118 world leaders are expected to attend the opening day of the Nov. 30-Dec. 11 conference, which is due to nail down a global deal to limit rising greenhouse gas emissions.

| Paris attacks undermine EU refugee policy, new Polish gov't says | |  By Adrian Krajewski WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland's new government has responded to the Paris attacks by demanding security guarantees before accepting its allocation of refugees under a European Union quota system, and saying the carnage puts the EU's entire migrant policy in question. Saturday's comments seemed to align the new government of the conservative and eurosceptic Law and Justice (PiS) party with others in eastern Europe who bitterly oppose the welcome given to the refugees, notably by Germany, Austria and Sweden. "The attacks mean the necessity of an even deeper revision of the European policy towards the migrant crisis," said Konrad Szymanski, who becomes Poland's European affairs minister on Monday.

| Paris prosecutor chronicles deadly 'team' attacks | |  The attackers who killed 129 people in Friday night's shootings and suicide bombings in Paris appeared to be split into three coordinated teams armed with Kalashnikov assault rifles and high explosives. One of the teams talked of Syria and Iraq, where France has launched air strikes over the past year, as they fired on a crowd at a rock concert. "We can say at this stage of the investigation there were probably three coordinated teams of terrorists behind this barbaric act," Paris prosecutor Francois Molins told a news conference.

| Paris attacks may reshape U.S. presidential race | |  By James Oliphant and John Whitesides WASHINGTON/DES MOINES, Iowa (Reuters) - The lethal attacks in Paris have the potential to reshape the U.S. presidential race, placing a new emphasis on issues of national security, border control, and counterterrorism, while perhaps bolstering candidates who talk toughest about taking on Islamic State militants both at home and abroad. National security has not assumed a central place in a U.S. presidential election for more than a decade as the economy preoccupied American voters.

| German intelligence chief urges "orderly procedures" for refugees at borders | |  The head of Germany's domestic intelligence services called for "orderly procedures" regarding the handling of the daily entry of thousands of refugees to Germany, saying extremists could exploit the sometimes chaotic migration situation. Friday's deadly attacks in Paris in which at least 129 people were killed have fuelled a debate in Germany on Chancellor Angela Merkel's welcoming approach to refugees and on how to get a better overview of the people entering the country. Europe is grappling with its worst refugee crisis since World War Two, and Germany has been taking in the bulk of some 1 million people expected to arrive this year.

| U.S. Justice Department working with French authorities after attacks - official | |  In coordination with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other agencies, U.S. Justice Department attorneys are working with French authorities to obtain further information that may be relevant to the Paris attacks, a Justice Department official said on Saturday. Department officials have also been in touch with the French Ministries of Interior and Justice to offer our fullest cooperation, the official said. "We also understand that several U.S. citizens were injured and at least one was killed in the attack. On Friday night, several sites around Paris were targeted in a coordinated assault by gunmen and bombers in what the Paris public prosecutor said killed at least 129 people and wounded more than 350, of whom nearly 100 remain in critical condition.

| Belgian connection: three held in Brussels over Paris attacks | |  By Robert-Jan Bartunek and Barbara Lewis BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Belgian police arrested three people on Saturday in raids in a poor, immigrant quarter of Brussels as they pursued emerging links between the Paris attacks and an Islamist bastion in France's northern neighbour. Prime Minister Charles Michel said at least one of those held from the inner Brussels neighbourhood of Molenbeek was believed to have spent the previous evening in Paris, where two cars registered in Belgium were impounded close to scenes of some of the violence, including the Bataclan music hall. "Police operations will go on," Michel told RTL television as local media reported continued security activity overnight in Molenbeek, west of the city centre, which is home to many Muslims, notably families originally from Morocco and Turkey.

| U.S. band's musicians safe in Paris attack, crew member confirmed dead | |  All the musicians performing with the California-based rock band Eagles of Death Metal emerged unharmed from the lethal terror attack inside a Paris concert hall, but a member of their entourage was killed in the violence, relatives said on Saturday. The band's merchandise manager, a 36-year-old Briton named Nick Alexander, was identified in a statement from his family as one of at least 89 people who died when gunmen stormed the Bataclan music hall in the midst of Friday night's show. Also among those killed was a Mercury Records executive, Thomas Ayad, 34, part of a team from the band's parent label, Universal Music Group, attending the concert, the company said.

| Holder of Syrian passport found near Paris gunman crossed Greece | | | The holder of a Syrian passport found near the body of one of the gunmen who died in Friday night's attacks in Paris passed through Greece in October, a Greek minister said, and another suspected attacker was thought to have entered Europe the same way. "The holder of the passport passed through the island of Leros on Oct. 3, 2015, where he was identified according to EU rules," Greece's deputy minister in charge of police, Nikos Toskas, said in a statement. Toskas did not know if the Syrian passport had been checked by other countries through which the holder might have passed on his way to France. |
| After Paris attacks, pressure builds for big military response to Islamic State | |  By Phil Stewart, Warren Strobel and Matt Spetalnick WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Paris terror attacks are likely to galvanize a stronger global military response to Islamic State, after a U.S.-led air war that has lasted more than a year has failed to contain a group now proving itself to be a growing worldwide threat. The United States, long accused of taking an incremental approach to the struggle, is under growing political pressure at home and abroad to do more and it is expected to examine ways to intensify the campaign, including through expanded air power.
