Paris attacks: Dozens arrested in raids across France

A total of 23 people have been arrested and dozens of weapons seized in a series of raids on suspected Islamist militants across France, officials say.

The crackdown follows multiple attacks on bars, restaurants a concert hall and a stadium in Paris on Friday, in which 129 people were killed.

A police operation is also reportedly under way in Brussels, Belgium, with reports that one suspect was arrested.
