Paris attacks: France calls on EU to 'wake up' to threat Paris attacks: EU ministers to discuss tightening borders
(35 minutes later)
French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve has said European countries must "wake up" to terror threats, following the attacks in Paris that left 129 people dead. European Union interior ministers are discussing tightening the external borders of the passport-free Schengen area in response to the Paris attacks.
He spoke after it emerged that the suspected Belgian ringleader of the attacks had entered France undetected. France wants EU citizens to be subject to the same stringent border checks as non-EU travellers, and wants easier sharing of airline passenger data.
Belgian PM Charles Michel has defended Belgium's security services amid claims the attacks were organised there. It has emerged the alleged Belgian leader of last week's attacks travelled undetected from Syria to France.
It comes as EU interior and justice ministers are to hold emergency talks. Meanwhile, Germany's intelligence chief has warned of a "terrorist world war".
The meeting in Brussels is expected to discuss tightening checks at the external borders of the EU's passport-free Schengen area. Hans-Georg Maassen, head of the domestic intelligence agency, told the BBC that the so-called Islamic State (IS) had made Europe its enemy and European countries had to "assume something like Paris can happen any time".
Follow the latest live developments The near-simultaneous attacks by suicide bombers and gunmen on bars and restaurants, a concert hall and sports stadium last Friday killed 129 people and left hundreds of people wounded. IS said it was behind the attacks.
Key questions remain after attacks France's Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, speaking on Thursday, said it was "urgent that Europe wakes up, organises itself and defends itself against the terrorist threat".
On Thursday, French prosecutors confirmed that Islamic State (IS) militant Abdelhamid Abaaoud was among those killed in a police raid the previous day. He said France received no warning from other European countries that Abdelhamid Abaaoud - a well-known face of IS and on international "most wanted" lists - had arrived on the continent.
His bullet-riddled body was found in the wreckage of a flat in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis. France said it received intelligence from a non-European country some three days after the attacks that Abaaoud had passed through Greece on his return from Syria.
Investigators had identified him as the most likely organiser of last Friday's attacks, but it was initially thought he was in Syria. One of the attackers who blew himself up outside the Stade de France, has also been traced by his fingerprints to Greece where he was registered as a migrant.
At a news conference, Mr Cazeneuve said "no information" had been received from other European countries about his arrival on the continent.
But he said he had received intelligence that Abaaoud had passed through Greece on his return from Syria.
"It is urgent that Europe wakes up, organises itself and defends itself against the terrorist threat," Mr Cazeneuve told reporters.
French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said some of those involved in the attacks had taken advantage of the migration crisis in Europe - which has seen thousands of asylum seekers arrive on the continent - to "slip into" France unnoticed.French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said some of those involved in the attacks had taken advantage of the migration crisis in Europe - which has seen thousands of asylum seekers arrive on the continent - to "slip into" France unnoticed.

On Thursday, French prosecutors confirmed that Abaaoud was among those killed in a police raid the previous day.
His bullet-riddled body was found in the wreckage of a flat in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis, along with Hasna Aitboulahcen - reportedly Abaaoud's cousin - who died after detonating a suicide vest.
A draft resolution for Friday's EU meeting says ministers will agree to implement "necessary systematic and co-ordinated checks at external borders, including on individuals enjoying the right of free movement".A draft resolution for Friday's EU meeting says ministers will agree to implement "necessary systematic and co-ordinated checks at external borders, including on individuals enjoying the right of free movement".
Correspondents say Belgium has found itself under pressure after the attacks. French President Francois Hollande said they were "planned in Syria, prepared and organised in Belgium". This means EU citizens, along with non-EU citizens, will have their passports checked against a database of known or suspected terrorists and those involved in organised crime.
A former senior French intelligence official has also been quoted in French media as saying that "the Belgians just aren't up to it". Ministers will also consider cracking down on the movement of firearms within the EU, the collection of passenger data for those taking internal flights and also the blocking funding for terrorists.
In an address to parliament on Thursday, Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel said it was intelligence from his country's security services that had led to the huge raid in Saint-Denis. The key to all of this will be the co-operation and sharing of intelligence and information between EU countries, notes the BBC's Alex Forsyth in Brussels.
"I do not accept the criticisms which were aimed at denigrating the work of our security services," he said.
Mr Michel unveiled new security measures including jailing jihadists returning from Syria and extending detention periods for terror suspects.

Eight people were arrested following the raid in Saint-Denis. A woman at the flat - reported in French media to be Abaaoud's cousin - died after detonating a suicide vest. Belgium, which has found itself under pressure after it emerged that a number of the Paris attackers were from Brussels, has also unveiled new security measures including jailing jihadists returning from Syria and extending detention periods for terror suspects.
