French police have questioned relatives of one of the suicide attackers as a row over Europe's refugee crisis re-ignited. The Paris prosecutor told reporters that three jihadist cells staged co-ordinated hits on Friday night at bars, a concert hall and soccer stadium. The attacks killed 129 people and injured 352, including 99 in a serious condition. Prosecutors have said the slaughter appeared to involve a multinational team with links to the Middle East, Belgium and possibly Germany as well as home-grown French roots.The attacks were claimed by Islamic State as revenge for French military action in Syria and Iraq. Belgian police arrested SEVEN people so far, as they pursued emerging links between the Paris attacks and an Islamist bastion in France's northern neighbour. Further evidence emerged that at least one of the attackers had traveled through Europe alongside Syrian refugees, seeking asylum in Serbia.
