Police find auto rented by wanted Paris attacks suspect

Defense lawyer Xavier Carrette says Mohammed Amri, 27, denies any involvement in the attacks and says he went to Paris early Saturday to pick up a friend, 24-year-old Salah Abdeslam.

National police published a photo of the suicide bomber on its twitter account Tuesday.

In a televised address today Francois Hollande said military operations in the Middle East would be intensified just days after it launched attacks on ISIS, also known as Daesh, destroying a number of targets.

The manhunt for suspects linked to the Paris massacre led to new arrests in multiple countries Tuesday, as lawyers for two men admitted their clients drove to France to pick up a suspected attacker who remains on the loose.

A senior police official said he believed Abdelhamid Abaaoud, who had previously been thought to be in Syria, was inside the building in Saint Denis with five other heavily armed people when more than 100 officers stormed the apartment early on Wednesday.

“Out of this event in Paris will come an even greater level of vigilance and cooperation in a few places that may have been a little bit less concerned about things hitting them in certain parts of the world”, Kerry said. But Martins sensed problems.

The prosecutor said he was charged with terror offenses in 2012 after trying to travel to Yemen and is reported to have gone to Syria in 2013.

President Hollande told a joint session of the French parliament yesterday that he would table a bill to extend France’s state of emergency for three months. Belgian police have arrested seven people since Friday in connection with the attack but have released all but two.

Overnight yesterday, Belgian police raided the Molenbeek district of Brussels, the suspected hideout of 26-year-old Salah Abdeslam, who is believed to have been the driver of one group of gunmen.

Police had arrested in August a man who told them that Abaaoud had asked him to commit a violent attack in a European country, he added.

All of those killed in the attack have now been identified, a statement from the French cabinet said.

Islamic State, the militant Islamist group that claimed the attacks, said it sent eight men on their mission.

Iraqi intelligence officials told The Associated Press that an ISIS sleeper cell in France met with the attackers after their training in Raqqa, the Islamic State’s de facto capital, and helped them to execute the plan.
