MOSCOW (Sputnik) — On Friday, Abdeslam was arrested during a special police operation in the Brussels migrant district of Molenbeek, following months of multiple anti-terror raids conducted by the Belgian police.
"The world police body is warning that the capture of the 26-year-old Belgian-born French national, a key suspect in the November 2015 Paris attacks, may encourage any accomplices to attempt to flee Europe, or elsewhere <…> An advisory <…> recommends enhanced checks at control points, particularly against INTERPOL’s Stolen and Lost Travel Documents (SLTD) database which contains some 56 million documents from 172 countries," the body said in a statement published on its website.
"Belgium is to be congratulated on the arrest of Salah Abdeslam, but this is just one piece in a larger puzzle," Interpol's Secretary General Juergen Stock was quoted in the statement as saying.
