Fingerprints of fugitive Paris attacker found at raided Belgian flat
Fingerprints belonging to Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam have been found at a Belgian flat where suspected Isis militants started a shootout with police, reportedly indicating that he may have been using it as a hideout.
One gunman was killed by a sniper but two other suspects are still at large after the raid in the Brussels district of Forest on Tuesday, where four officers were injured.

RTBF, Belgium’s public broadcaster, reported that Abdeslam may have been one of the men who fled.



“According to our information, it is more than likely that he is one of the two individuals who escaped during the shootout,” RTBF said on its website.

Abdeslam’s fingerprint has been recovered inside the flat, as well as his DNA found on a glass, French and Belgian media reported.

The fugitive remains on the run after appearing to have removed his suicide vest and fled during the Paris attacks on 13 November.
