Belgium seeks public help in search for two Paris suspects

Belgian federal prosecutors say the pair, who used the names Samir Bouzid and Soufiane Kayal, travelled with key suspect Salah Abdeslam to Hungary in September. Officers there allege the same id of Kayal was used to rent a home within the Belgian town of Auvelais in that authorities have searched as a attainable website for making the suicide bombs used within the November 13 assaults in Paris.

Prosecutors said anyone who sees the men or has information about them should contact police.

Belgium has made a public appeal to find two men believed to be linked to the Paris attacks.

Here is what we know about the suspects and the wider circle pursued by police.

Both men should be considered risky and possibly armed, the prosecutor’s office said.

Investigations are centered on fugitive Salah Abdeslam, who police think may be an assailant referred to in an Islamic State statement claiming responsibility for the attacks. He got a group of migrants together and left the country with them.

Mathias Dymarski and Marie Lausch were among the victims killed in the Nov. 13, 2015, terror attacks in Paris, their friend Clara Regigny posted to Twitter Nov. 14, 2015.

People suspected of having connections with the alleged ringleader of the Paris attacks are based in Birmingham, according to Western intelligence sources.

A 28-year-old Belgian man was detained at an address in the neighbourhood of Molenbeek in Brussels.

The police meanwhile Thursday released two other people who were questioned as witnesses following raids in Brussels.

The latest suspects added to the worldwide manhunt underway for the Paris attacks bring the number of individuals still being sought in relation to the attacks to four.

Abdeslam’s precise role in the attacks remains unclear.

Both men were placed in custody on grounds of participating in the activities of a terrorist organisation, and after appearing before a court, have had their detention extended.
