Paris attacks: Warrant issued for new suspect Mohamed Abrini

Meanwhile in Belgium, prosecutors issued an worldwide arrest warrant for a “dangerous” man seen driving a vehicle with key Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam two days before the atrocities.

Prosecutor Francois Molins has said that mobile phone data shows Belgian jihadist Abdelhamid Abaaoud probably returned to the Bataclan theatre while police were still in the area, and also visited the restaurants and cafes targeted in the attack.

Salah Abdeslam is now the subject of an worldwide manhunt after the attacks which killed 130 people.

The analysis “leads us to believe that Abaaoud returned to the scene of the crimes after the attack carried out on the people sitting at tables at restaurants and while the BRI (elite police) were intervening at the Bataclan”, prosecutor Francois Molins said.

CBS News’ Elaine Cobbe reports the prosecutor says evidence of the plan only came to light the day after the police assault.

Abaaoud the Belgian jihadi suspected of masterminding deadly attacks in Paris was killed in a police raid on a suburban apartment building, the city prosecutor’s office announced Thursday November 1, 2015.

The suicide vest found on Monday south of Paris was still being analyzed but it was of the same type as those used by the other suicide bombers during the attacks, Molins added.

Molins said they had still to identify a man shot dead by police in the concert hall, the two suicide bombers at the national stadium who had passed through Greece in October and the third person to die when police raided the St. Denis flat.

Belgian police said that Abrini was “armed and risky”.

Mohamed Abrini was seen on CCTV at a petrol station on November 11, Belgian prosecutors said.

On Tuesday, a judge also handed down terrorism-related charges to Jawad Bendaoud, the only person so far in France known to be facing such charges directly linked to the November 13 attacks. Bendaoud, 29, told BFM television, “I didn’t know they were terrorists”.

The attack has been traced to a network of people with ties to both France and Belgium, where Abaaoud was from.

He must either be charged or released Tuesday. He didn’t, however, specify what the charges were or if they were linked to the attacks. Schools are expected to reopen Wednesday along with parts of the subway system, although the alert level will remain.

Abdeslam has been the target of an worldwide man hunt but remains at large.

Only one fugitive has been publicly named: Abdeslam, who crossed into Belgium the morning after the attacks.

Investigators had found a 9 mm pistol, fragments of grenades and two suicide vests in the St. Denis apartment.

Authorities said the device, which did not have a detonator, was found in the southern Paris suburb of Montrouge.

Seven attackers were killed on November 13, majority after detonating suicide vests.
