Three teams of attackers were involved in the assault on Paris, in which 129 people have been killed and more than 350 injured, the Paris prosecutor says.
"We have to find out where they came from... and how they were financed," Francois Molins told reporters.
He said there were seven attackers, not eight as reported earlier, all heavily armed and wearing explosive belts.
The attacks on Friday night hit a concert hall, a major sports stadium, restaurants and bars.
Mr Molins also said the arrests of three men in Brussels on Saturday were linked to the attacks.
