Salah Abdeslam, now subject to a massive manhunt, was born in Brussels.

“Do not intervene”, warns the message issued on Sunday evening.
An Egyptian passport found near the Stade de France is thought to have been that of a victim, not an attacker.
“One died in the attacks [a suicide bomber], the second is in custody in Belgium – it still unknown if he participated in the attacks or not”.
Both spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.
The Bataclan concert hall is where 89 people were killed, while Pere Lachaise is nearby.
“Two cars registered in Belgium were found in Paris, one near the Bataclan and the other near Pere Lachaise”, the federal prosecutor’s office said in a statement.
The dispatch did not say where or when the attacks might take place, and a senior French security official told the AP that French intelligence gets this kind of communication “all the time” and “every day”.
The new information stoked fears of homegrown terrorism in a country that has exported more jihadis than any other in Europe.
The French capital remained on edge Sunday as authorities conducted an intensive search for Abdeslam and possibly others involved in Friday’s terror attacks who vanished unscathed into the vast city. Three of them passed through a roadside check in Cambrai, France, at 9:10am Saturday, while on the A2 highway heading to Belgium. Two people in the auto with him have been arrested in Brussels. Abaaoud is also said to have recruited his 13-year-old brother to join him in Syria and become one of IS’s youngest fighters.
President Barack Obama on Sunday called the terror attacks in Paris an “attack on the civilized world”.
He said the US stands with Turkey and Europe in reducing the flow of migrants.
He was one of the gunmen who attacked the venue on Friday, according to Agence France-Presse.
The IS group, also known as ISIS or ISIL, claimed responsibility for the attack. The attackers are believed to have operated in three teams. “That’s what struck me, his childish face, very determined, cold, calm, frightening”.
Several more individuals have been detained, while officers have seized dozens of weapons including a Kalashnikov assault rifle and automatic pistols.
“By a few miracle I was on the far side. My neighbor will have been killed”, he said. We didn’t look back.
The Paris attacks were “prepared, organised and planned overseas, with help from inside (France)”, French President Francois Hollande said.
Salah Abdeslam had been questioned by French police earlier but was not detained, a source close to the investigation into the Paris attacks said.
In another development, claims emerged that Turkish authorities flagged one of the attackers to their French counterparts a year ago, but received no response until after Friday’s assault.
Prosecutors say they believe three groups of attackers were involved in the Paris carnage, raising the possibility that one group may still be at large. A judicial official and lawmaker Jean-Pierre Gorges confirmed his identity.
Belgian authorities have also established links with the jihadist cell that police smashed in the eastern Belgian city of Verviers in January.
On the streets, the entire nation was enveloped in mourning.
“They also land in districts which are breeding grounds for radicalisation”, she said, before taking a dig at her socialist predecessor: “One should have been firmer from the start”. “We will do what is necessary to defeat extremism, terrorism and hatred”. Although Paris was quiet and jittery, Bas meant to go out for a drink – “to show that they won’t win”.

The passport is still being checked, but it indicates the attackers may have had links to Syria and could have been among the thousands of people that have fled the country’s civil war for Europe.
