attacks in Paris, three U.S. officials said. That news is among the
first snippets of information about the background of people who lost

ISIS claiming responsibility for the Paris attacks, the investigation
moved beyond France as Belgian authorities made a number of arrests
there in the first publicized apprehensions following Friday night's
violence, a Belgian justice ministry spokeswoman told.
The raids were conducted in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, a Brussels suburb, justice ministry spokeswoman Sieghild Lacoere said.
Lacoere
