French far-right leader Marine Le Pen has called for an 'immediate halt' to the intake of migrants into France following the deadly jihadist attacks on Paris which left 129 people dead.

Le Pen's National Front (FN) party said in a statement that one of the attackers, known only as Ahmed al-Mohammed, had arrived in Greece last month 'among the mass of migrants who flow into Europe each day.'

The statement, issued three weeks ahead of regional elections in France, added: 'As a precaution, Marine Le Pen calls for the immediate halt of all intake of migrants in France.'

In view of Friday's attacks, which claimed 129 lives, France's assent to the EU-wide obligatory quota system for migrants was 'irresponsible', the statement said.

In Germany, the year-old PEGIDA protest movement - short for Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the Occident - was hoping to draw large crowds for their Monday protest in the eastern city of Dresden, having attracted their highest-ever turnout of 25,000 after the January attacks against the Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris.

Its founder Lutz Bachmann urged followers to protest against 'those who come here bring terror to the country', and against the government's welcoming stance that is expected to bring one million asylum-seekers to Germany this year.

In a weekend Facebook posting, Bachmann had even accused Chancellor Angela Merkel of sharing blame for the attacks.

Germany's justice minister, Heiko Maas, also cautioned against drawing a link between refugees and perpetrators of the deadly Paris attacks, warning that the Islamic State group could be trying to exploit the debate over Europe's migrant influx.

'We are aware that the IS is known to leave such false tracks behind to politicise and radicalise the issue over refugees in Europe,' he said.

It was not just leaders of fringe protest groups, but also mainstream politicians who linked the attacks with the migrant wave.

Hungary's hardline Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has shut out refugees with razor-wire fences, said that 'terrorists have exploited mass migration by mingling in the mass of people leaving their homes in the hope of a better life'.

'We don't think that everyone is a terrorist, but no one can say how many terrorists have arrived already, how many are coming day by day,' he told parliament in Budapest.

In Germany's southern Bavaria state, the main gateway for arriving migrants, Markus Soeder, a leader of the conservative CSU party, charged that 'a new era has started. The time of uncontrolled and illegal immigration is over. Paris has changed everything'

Poland's incoming European Affairs Minister Konrad Szymanski said Saturday that Warsaw no longer considered an EU plan to redistribute refugees across Europe to be a 'political possibility' in light of the Paris attacks.

In Germany's southern Bavaria state, the main gateway for arriving migrants, Markus Soeder, a leader of the conservative CSU party, charged that 'a new era has started. The time of uncontrolled and illegal immigration is over. Paris has changed everything.'

A commentary on news site Spiegel Online said that since Friday's attacks, leaders of Germany's populist right 'seem to be blowing their gaskets', and that 'the most likely motive is fear'.

It said that 'it is one of the IS's goals that Muslims in Europe feel marginalised and stigmatised, to make it more likely they can recruit them one day'.

'It is paradoxical that Germany's fearful enemies of Islam are stepping right into the trap of the Islamist terrorists and reacting in exactly the way the ruthless foes of humanity had intended.'

Four of the five attackers that have so far been identified were French.

But the FN said its 'fears and warnings of the possible presence of jihadists among the migrants entering our country' had been borne out.

A Syrian passport was found near the body of one of the suicide bombers, though its authenticity has yet to be verified.

Prosecutors said the bomber's fingerprints matched those taken by Greek authorities from a person who was in possession of the passport.

The staunchly anti-immigration FN has seized on Europe's migrant crisis to win votes ahead of regional elections on December 6 and 13.

The party is already leading opinion polls in several regions.

Le Pen has campaigned on the party's traditional line of calling for an end to Europe's borderless Schengen zone and actions seen as enticing migrants to France.
