Police Search for Suspects in Paris Attacks Covers Netherlands, Belgium

At least two suspects in the Paris terrorist attacks are still on the run and the search for them has been extended to include the Netherlands and Belgium, CNN reports.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – On November 13, a series of coordinated terrorist attacks at various locations in Paris left 129 dead and over 300 injured.

On Thursday, French officials confirmed they had identified the body of the ringleader of the Paris attacks, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, according to CNN. The ringleader was killed in the course of a Wednesday raid at an apartment building in a northern Paris suburb.

CNN said citing French authorities on Friday that at least two suspects in the Paris attacks are still on the run.

"The search for one of them, Salah Abdeslam, has been extended to include the Netherlands," CNN cited a source close to the investigation as saying on Friday.

The search also covers Belgium, where Abdeslam had also stayed in the past, according to CNN.

Belgian police have carried out a series of anti-terrorist operations detaining a number of people suspected of links to the Paris attacks and subsequently releasing most of them.

French police located a hideout of terrorists linked to the Paris attacks on Wednesday, after tapping into the phone of a female suicide bomber, who blew herself up during the anti-terrorist operation in the northern Paris suburb of Saint-Denis.

Hasna Aitboulahcen, 26, an alleged cousin of Abdelhamid Abaaoud, detonated an explosive belt, killing only herself, in a third-floor apartment in Saint-Denis early on Wednesday.
