Manuel Valls said France faced a serious threat from associates linked to the gunmen and bombers who launched attacks across Paris last Friday, killing 129. Meanwhile, the French Interior Ministry and Paris prosecutor's office said it remains unclear whether the suspected mastermind of last week's Paris attacks was killed in a raid on Wednesday or is still at large. Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said the identities of the dead - including a female suicide bomber - are still being investigated, but that neither Abaaoud nor another fugitive, Salah Abdeslam, is in custody.
