“The Federal Prosecutor’s Office along with the inquiring judge want to attract the public again to keep an eye out for two new defendants the investigators are actively seeking for”, the prosecutor’s statement said.
He said the second person had been detained during a raid also on Sunday.
On September 9 the men, carrying bogus IDs with the names of Samir Bouzid and Soufiane Kayal, were travelling in a Mercedes with Abdeslam, when the auto was checked at the Hungarian-Austrian border.
Both Abrini and Dahmani had close ties with Salah Abdeslam, now Europe’s most wanted man. Abrini was filmed with Salah two days before the attacks, in a gas station in Ressons in northern France.
Belgian police now say they have information that Abdeslam travelled to Hungary at least twice using a rented auto.
Abaaoud’s death has been confirmed, but the French prosecutor’s office said on Friday that it had not yet been able to formally identify the other two female bodies found in the Rue Cormillon apartment.
One was held on Sunday at an airport in Brussels trying to leave for Morocco, prosecutors said.
The suspect is said to be part of the entourage of Bilal Hadfi, one of the suicide bombers at the Stade de France on November 13.
Belgian authorities say they have detained two more suspects in the Paris attacks.
Another of those charged, Ali Oulkadi, allegedly drove the key suspect around the Belgian capital.
Police have issued images from cards and photographs of the suspects, seemingly taken from closed circuit television footage.
