Big news from France this evening…

An international arrest warrant has been issued for a man believed to be involved in the Paris terror attacks which claimed the lives of 128 people and injured over 200 others.

Belgium-born Abdeslam Salah is wanted by police as they believe he may have managed to escape after the attack with officials describing him as “dangerous”.

According to the BBC, France’s interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve said investigations would show the attacks “were prepared abroad, by a group of individuals based in Belgium.”

Seven attackers, two of them were Belgium residents, died during the incidents on Friday but police now believe that another attacker may have gotten away.

The discovery of a suspected getaway car in Paris today has furthered the Police’s suspicion that at least one suspect in the attack managed to get away.

It is reported that several kalashnikov rifles were found in the abandoned car.

France are appealing for information on Abdeslam Salah but have warned the public not to approach him.
