Police find Paris attacker's apartment in Brussels

BRUSSELS

An apartment believed to be used by at least one of the suspects in the Nov. 13 Paris attacks has been found in Brussels, Belgian prosecutors said in a statement Friday.

According to the statement, police found suicide belts, traces of explosives and a fingerprint of fugitive suspect Salah Abdeslam inside an apartment in Schaerbeek district.

A number of the Paris attackers, who killed 130 people, were French nationals living in Belgium. Alleged mastermind of the attack, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, who was killed in a police raid in Paris, was also a Belgian.

Abdeslam, who is suspected of having participated in the killings on Nov. 13, remains at large and is the subject of a European-wide manhunt.

According to a 2014 UN report, Belgium has the highest per capita number of fighters in Syria and Iraq of all European nations.

Daesh was blamed for the Nov. 13 Paris attacks, which was termed the deadliest terrorist act in Europe in a decade.
