salah abdeslam was amongst the attackers died on friday night, but salah abdeslam named is a wanted person throughout europe. he was the eighth suspect and a ninth suspect is also being searched for. we're not sure if they're the people in the apartment belong. certainly abdel hamid abaaoud was named as being involved in the attacks. in salah abdeslam, for having rented the vehicles used in the attacks. in the case of abdel hamid abaaoud suspected as being of mastermind of these attacks. it appears to actually have been far closer to the operation on friday >>> thank you for that. jacky we will no doubt come back to you in a few minutes. crossing over to tristan redmon. a very fast moving, very fast-paced situation unfolding on our screens. let me just remind the viewers what they're seeing. these are live pictures from the northern suburbs in paris. two unidentified people have been killed in an operation which is still underway by the police. these are the live pictures. it is thought the police are raiding an apartment where several suggestion expects are holed up. one of the mai

salah abdeslam is one of the side bombers in paris. he was the one the owner in a bar in brussels and known for drug-trafficking activities. those are criminals that want to make big names for themselves. they do not operate in a way that they claim to be advocating for. one brother has been cleared by the police. he didn't know what was going on with his two brothers, which might be a little bit doubtful.

martin savidge, thank you so much. >>> we're learning that salah abdeslam is one of the most wanted manworld. >> reporter: this video from the dailymail.com said he's the most wanted man on earth. his face now known on earth. salah and his brother brihim rented the three cars that delivered the gunmen to the killing sprees. one of the cars later found with three ak-47s inside. salah represented th salah rented this hotel room. he visited a neighborhood in brussels with a large immigrant population. as salah's brother mouhamed told me, home to many young men have gone to syria to train with isis. salah ran a bar in molenbeek, which was closed down weeks ago after police found it was a haven for drug dealers. when i spoke to salah's brother mouhamed, he told me both of miss brothers liked to party. >> translator: they have brothels and go out for two or three days without coming back home to sleep. >> reporter: mohamed told me recently they stopped drinking and they became radicalized on the internet. now salah is on the run. i asked mohamed what he wants to say to him. >> translator: i w

that is salah abdeslam.nn's martin savage has the latest in the investigation. >> reporter: friday the 13th, carnage and chaos all over paris. police determine three teams of isis terrorists are responsible and count seven dead suspects. isis takes credit for the bloodbath. the isis statement mentioned eight brothers attacks precisely chosen targets in paris' 10th, 11th and 18th districts. there was no attack in the 18th district. a mystery for police. the only thing police would find in the 18th district is this rental car. parked in a crosswalk. a source close to the investigation tells cnn it was rented by 26-year-old salah abdeslam. the brother of ibraham abdeslam. and french authorities know unlike ibrahim, abdeslam was alive and well. hours after the attacks, records show police stopped him and two other men in a car on this highway not far from belgium where abdeslam is from. because he wasn't wanted at the time, they let him go. now salah abdeslam is france's most wanted. cnn's erin burnet spoke to h

salah abdeslam is one of the side bombers in paris. he was the one the owner in a bar in brussels and known for drug-trafficking activities. those are criminals that want to make big names for themselves. they do not operate in a way that they claim to be advocating for. one brother has been cleared by the police. he didn't know what was going on with his two brothers, which might be a little bit doubtful. the third one is on the run. apparently he is also potentially a second terrorist who is on the run today. salah abdeslam actually left paris and went back to belgium on friday night. they have been checked by the authority at the border. we didn't know he was implicated. it was two hours after the event. most likely he is off to belgium and maybe further. it will be interesting to see if he just came to get some more information from abdel hamid abaaoud and came back to st denis. what is going on here, after the swat team stormed in and took out some terrorists, and take them to a safe place to interrogation, is to make you have the

salah abdeslam is not among the persons arrested during the searches. abdeslam was in the hands of french police just 12 hours after the blood bath in paris headed towards the belgian border. they let him go since there was no warning for him at the time. police arrested the two men that he was with, charging them with complicity. the two men say hours after the attacks they received a phone call from salah abdeslam. he sounded very upset, saying that his car had broken down and he needed a ride back to belgium. the two friends came to paris here and picked him up. the attorney stresses they had no idea that he was involved in the attacks. but the attorney also says the men noticed he was carrying something. "a big jacket and other things, maybe like an explosive belt or something like that." so was abdeslam planning a paris-like attack in belgium or was it something else? isis may provide a clue in its statement claiming responsibility for the paris killings. it praised the eighth brothers who attacked, quote, precisely chosen targets in paris's 8th, 11

one of the terrorists, salah abdeslam, was an owner of a bar in belgium and a drug trafficker. it doesn't show him as a perfect zealot in terms of religion. they're planning to clean the streets of paris of bad behaviour, they're trying to use this to crate crime. they're more criminal than-- >>> does it suggest more going on here. we've got salah abdeslam, as you say, one of three brothers, one of his brothers blew himself up and the other has been cleared. the other man they're looking for is abdel hamid abaaoud. we don't know for sure whether he is one of the men currently involved in today's siege. >> it's actually very surprising that he is here. if he is here, it's a big issue >>> he was thought to be in syria. >> yes. he was. he is known to be one of the key recruiters for d.a.e.s.h. one of the reason that france has targeted is because the french nationals, there is a key position inside the i.s.i.s. in terms of equipment they've been very effective. abdel hamid abaaoud was a 28-year-old belgian, was really used as a key figure to try to get poor souls to join i.s.i.s.

moment, salah abdeslam has not been reported captured. they need a strong police front to be able to lift the high alert. maintained very long because of course it is crippling the economy and activity in brussels. genie: that is james andre reporting for us from brussels. now, the lockdown in brussels came after those attacks in paris 10 days ago that left 130 .eople dead and hundreds hurt a british citizen was among those victims, and today the british prime minister, david cameron, visited the bataclan concert venue. cameron was there alongside french president francois hollande. they met today for talks on the fight against the islamic state group. francois hollande will continue his push for a stronger international: wishon, with top-level meetings -- a stronger coalition. thomas waterhouse has more. thomas: four meetings with one common goal, to build a unified coalition against the islamic state group leader francois hollande kicked off his busy week with a breakfast meeting at the l is a perilous -- at the elysee palace with david

we don't know whether salah abdeslam was with him as well. we know three were killed, one a woman wearing an explosive belt. we know that three police officer have also been wounded but not seriously >>> if there is someone who is holidayed up inside the-- holed up inside the apartment, as is being reported, the priority would be to get him or her alive because they want as much information as possible. >> reporter: what we have been seeing since friday night is a really intensive coordinated operation by security forces, intelligent services, not just here in france but in other parts in europe, notably in belgium because we know there's an attack with belgium-- a connection with the attacks and belgium. the fact that seven attackers died in the various attacks on friday night means that there is not really much in the way of information for the police. we know that a number of people have been arrested in raids in consecutive nights. people were arrested in belgium and we've heard reports of arrests in germany. the brother of the salah abde

his brother on belgian tv saying he, salah abdeslam, pulled out last minute from the attacks. that is his feeling. we have not had confirmation about that. the belgian authorities tight-lipped because they have a live investigation there. separately, a photo of what the authorities say is the third attacker outside the stade de france. we don't know his name or anything about him. they put this picture out, alison, hoping the public knows something about him because they can't locate him. two people that they are trying to find in relation to paris attacks. that is why they are appealing for help. >> you have more for us on the french president and britain prime minister. what came out of the meeting? >> reporter: it was interesting. david cameron the british prime minister to show solidarity with the french. president hollande, this is a first in what is described as a diplomatic dash this week. he is meeting key allies to try to form an international coalition in the war as he described it against isis. he wants to be the middleman. he feels it is not coordinated properly. h

this would be on top of salah abdeslam, who they are also searching for at this stage. they say an analysis of the case that anotherts individual was part of the , and thisrectly person is apparently unaccounted for. information that appears to be corroborating this story, broken by the associated press. has been speaking to security officials on its end and they tell reuters that french investigators have determined from video footage that there were three men in the car used for the shooting at bars and restaurants in paris on friday evening. the two news agencies are kind of aligning with each other now. recovered a have third vehicle which could have been linked to these attacks. markus: indeed. police had already recovered two vehicles linked to the attacks in the suburbs of paris. was found vehicle right in the heart of the district. to the north of paris, really, road around ring paris. apparently, the window was smashed. we don't know why. sources are telling news car had been this hired by the now wanted salah abdeslam and this vehicle had been going back and f

one of those gangs that salah abdeslam is relying on to keep himself one step ahead of the police. >>arl penhall reporting from brussels. >>> the head of the european company for strategic intelligence, and a military officer joins us from brussels. axel, good to have you with us. brussels is an important part of the story with the alleged master find from there. what can you tell us about the efforts to find him. >> what is sure is that attacks have been predicted, but appears to be more european than pure french problems. it seems to be in brussels. what is done is ag a coordination between police in belgium and france. despite the fact that there are reports that air strikes tried to take out the mastermind in syria, the attacks have to be seen as a failure of intelligence in belgium and in france. is there effective intelligence sharing in the e.u., it's difficult to have a judgment about the failure of intelligence, you know what happened, and what didn't happen. talking about the intelligence is easy when you only take the events themselves, and not all worked on as part of this

salah abdeslam has not been caught during these raids.ly, as part of this investigation required an intervention this sunday night. the operations are continuing and given that we cannot give you any more details, the federal prosecutor and the police would like to thank the press but also all of those using social media to have understood and held back during the time of the operations. >> in the belgian investigating specialized in terrorist cases ordered a total of 19 house searches in the brussels region. these searches took place and were also three house searches carried out. in total, 16 persons were arrested. the investigating judge will decide tomorrow about their further possible further detention. during the search, a vehicle ran into the police after police officers fired two shots. the vehicle rushed off but was intercepted later in brussels. the driver, a man who was searched, was arrested. for the time being, we cannot confirm if there is a relation between the ongoing investigation and this arrest. no further specific inci

his name is salah abdeslam. he is extremely difference and people are not to approach him but contact police as soon as possible if they manage to spot him. he has been searched for, been hunted since the attacks happened. in fact, since saturday. it does appear that there were some kind of information mix-up because it has eau mermgd that on saturday-- emerged that on saturday salah abdeslam was stopped in a car near the belgium border by french police apparently returning from paris. at the time it appears that they did not have him on the list to be detained. he was checked out, him and two other men in a vehicle, and allowed to go. now, there's a lot of soul searching and gnashing of teeth about this. ita appeared he continued his journey into belgium and then disappeared. a huge man hunt is underway. the police at the time did not have his name and therefore were not hunting him, but it's a missed opportunity and the police and authorities here are frankly kicking themselves that they could have had him in

that's when salah abdeslam was able to make his way out of paris and back to brussels.slipped through that police dragnet in a car with two other men because at the time police didn't know who they were looking for yet. the question now, where is he? it's an international hundredth but you have the u.s. homeland security committee chair weighing in saying he believes investigators are closer to finding the man they've been looking for. listen to what he told brianna keilar on state of the union just this morning. >> mr. chairman, do you know anything about whether investigators may be closer to finding abdeslam? do you think they have a sense of whether he's still in europe forinstead he may have made his way to syria? >> well, i can't get into that level ofspecificity. i don't want to compromise their investigation. i think they're closing in on him and that's good news. there are many involved in this plot. it's a very sophisticated plot, an external operation that we've seen from isis. you mentioned the bombing of the russian airliner. this is a new isis, a new chapt

in the 18th district police subcontracted an abandoned car rented by salah abdeslam. today his brother called on him to surrender. >> translation: the best thing obviously would be to surrender so justice can be brought to the stories, because i remind you salah abdeslam has not been herd by the authorities, so is presumed innocent. >> reporter: two men rast arrested in belgium for helping him escape say they didn't know he was involvement. secretary of state john kerry says i.s.i.l. is being pushed back. >> i'm convinced in the course of the next few weeks that d.a.e.s.h. will feel more pressure, we have gained more territory, laesh less. >> russia -- d.a.e.s.h. less. >> reporter: russia confirmed that their airliner was drought down by a bomb, killing 224, the islamic state claimed responsibility. today we spoke to a group of parisians next to the scenes of the attacks. they live in the neighbourhood and agree that a war is fought here. this is a french muslim. >> we are in war, but in war against who? against a ghost. because it's not a state. the war involves two

we know salah abdeslam. what we learned today, there is another unnamed suspect out there they want to find. there was video shot by a witness to the shooting outside la belle equipe, where 12 people were killed. one of the people in that car later died in the attacks. they believe one of them might be this alleged eighth bomber. there is a third person in there that they are trying to identify. that could be the secret behind this other suspect they are looking for. >> keep in mind, isis at the beginning claimed credit mentioned eight and there were only seven that. would fit with the numbers they had. you've been reporting on a crucial breakthrough here which is they found passports. they didn't leave their cell phones behind or one of them didn't. they found a cell phone. >> this has been an issue from the beginning. u.s. counterterrorist officials have been warning we are losing track of these guys because they are going dark. they are uses encrypted communications. even the great power of the nsa cannot

you may remember that the last place salah abdeslam was seen was just hours after the attack. he was driving towards the belgium border. we've heard reports of him showing up in the netherlands and germany, though, none of these confirmed and what french security sources are telling cnn is this really seems to be an indication he has had some kind of help, some kind of support, some kind of a network that is helping him to elude capture. >> there is some identification issues still with one of the bombers at the stadium, correct, the french still trying to determine who that person might be? >> reporter: right and today the french police actually took to twitter and appealed to the public to try to help to identify this man. take a look at this picture, john. what we know is he is one of three men, three attackers who blew themselves up and he is believed to have traveled with another of the suicide bombers along that very same refugee route going from turkey to greece into france through central europe, also believed to have been traveling on what is likely a fake syrian pass

a source tells cnn it was rented by 26-year-old salah abdeslam, the brother of ibrahim abdeslam, one of the brothers who died in the paris attacks. and much to their embarrassment, french authorities know like ibrahim, salah was alive and well. police had stopped him in this car not far from belgium, where abdeslam was from. but because he was not wanted at the time they let him go. now salah abdeslam is france's most wanted. cnn spoke to the family in belgium. >> what would you say if salah is watching this interview somewhere? what do you say to him? >> i would tell him to surrender. >> reporter: belgium authorities have picked up the two men with him in the car when they were stopped at the border, charging him with complicity. and with their attorney they tell a very interesting tale. the two men say they received a phone call from abdeslam, saying his car was broken down and needed a ride back to belgium. so the two friends came here and picked him up in paris, saying they had no idea he had been involved in the attacks. the attorney says they noticed also that he was carrying so

police are scouring europe for evidence that might lead them to salah abdeslam, the attacker who got away. but in brussels, his brother mohammed appealed to him directly. "my advice to him is to turn himself in to the police," he said, "so justice can shed light on what happened." at this hotel in the paris suburbs, another piece of the puzzle fell into place. it's where salah abdeslam and his coconspirators are believed to have spent the two days before the attacks. police discovered it and dusted it for fingerprints on the weekend. when salah abdeslam reserved two rooms in this hotel, he did it with his own credit card and he used his own name, which suggests he wasn't the least bit concerned about leaving a trail for investigators. knowing what they were about to do, he probably didn't think he'd survive. and it's unscheer why he did. but incredibly, in the pandemonium following the massacre, he called some friends to come and pick him up. they drove him back to belgium, where he vanished. the police have also asked for help in identifying this man, one of the suicide bombers at t

he is pictured with salah abdeslam. the search for abdeslam expanded into northwestern germany today. for a tip from french investigators. once again, police came up empty. in france came new and frightening revelations. according to the paris prosecutor, the suspected ring leader abaaoud was on the verge of carrying out a second deadly assault in a fangs area. >> translator: the man found with him in the apartment were planning an attack which consisted of blowing themselves up on wednesday november 18th or on thursday november 19th in the business district of la defense. >> reporter: the plot was foiled, investigators say, when french authorities carried out this early morning raid last wednesday. it may explain why those inside the apartment appeared to be so well armed and ready as authorities moved. in the fire fight lasted an hour and nearly destroyed the building. abaaoud was killed in the assault. police say his cell phone delivered a wealth of information including calls he's believed to have made to the killer

the pan hunt for salah abdeslam continues. nonetheless, the security forces clearly have launched a serious and coordinated series of raids >>> thank you very much for that. it's time for the sports news now. >> reporter: thank you very much. tennis first. djokovic has ensured an historic end in london. he was against his old rival federer. djokovic seemed eager to make amend. it was over in 80 minutes. double faulting on double match, six three and six four win. another season of djokovic comes to an end. 11 titles this year, including three grand slams and maintained his world status plus over two million dollars in prize money. >> it means the world to me. i'm working hard to get myself in a position to fight for bigger trophies. i'm so blessed to have the year that i had. it's incredible. >> reporter: the davis cup team has delayed its travel until monday. the city is almost 60 km away from brussels which is at its highest level of alert amid fears of an attack. the tennis federation says it is greatly concerned by the ale

attorney says the only thing he did wrong was failing to let police know that he had picked up salah abdeslame he learned about the manhunt for his childhood friend, pamela. >> and abdeslam is not the only one that authorities are searching for. who else are they looking for at this hour? >> reporter: that's right. look, the investigation continues both in france and in belgium. and officials here have said they will continue operations to try to root out anyone who is connected in any way to the cell that perpetrated these attacks in paris. we know there's a manhunt concurrently with the manhunt for salah abdeslam for a man who was seen with him just two days before the paris attacks. that was mohamed abrini. he was seen driving one of the cars that was used in the attacks on november 13th. he was actually seen november 11th in the car with salah. there have been six arrests in total by belgian authorities of people they say could be connected in some way to these attacks. these are arrests of people based on the motivation of authorities to find anyone who could have connections here. these

and now police are operating under the theory that the suspect salah abdeslam may have already escaped to syria. and right now, paris is in a lockdown, and thousands of police officers are keeping a grip of lockdown on the city as hundreds of leaders are there for a e global conference. and this conference is an act against terror. >> we stand here in solidaire not om to deliver justice to those terrorist networks responsible for the attacks, but to protect the people, and uphold the enduring values that keep us strong, and keep us free. we salute the people of paris for insisting this crucial conference go on. an act of defiance that proves that nothing will deter us from building the future for our children. what greater rejection than those who would tear down our world than marshaling our best effort efforts to save it. >> all right. let's get some more now on what is going on in paris. phil black is joining us from paris right now. phil, what else can you tell us a bt these other terror threats that have just emerged against the jewish neighborhood, schools, transportation? >> so,

sir, what do you think about salah abdeslam? out at large, how is the hunt for him going? >> they're doing the usual things. blocking the roads, comparing tear files within the belgium police and secret service and the french police and se set service. >> what do you make of the arrests taking place? >> what is really weird is that the eight who were arrested in sontene, of them, seven were released. >> we have where abdelhamid abaaoud was killed. we heard eight people taken into custody. seven have been released. what does that say about the raids? >> authorities are not saying. what it says, they cast two wide and they don't feel like detaining everybody for their special powers, simply because they have some vague connection. so it's tactical, if you let go minor fish, maybe that will move around, panic. you might get a lead. >> how in general would you say the investigation is going at this point if time. you are keeping up with french media, with french sources, what do we know about the wider cell? we keep hearing about a

salah abdeslam and someone else.he hunt is on for 26-year-old salah abdeslam, one of the suspected terrorists in friday's attack in paris. his brother ibrahim blew himself up during the attacks that left 129 dead. their family tells cnn they had no idea the two had become radicalized. [ non-english language ] >> but my brother, who has participated in this terrorist attack, was probably psychologically ready to commit such an act. >> reporter: the worldwide search for salah abdeslam continues as coalition fighters intensify air strikes against isis in syria and iraq. french president francois hollande tells the world france won't back down. >> in short of weakening the french passion for receiving the whole world, i have already lost that fight. >> reporter: russia is also increasing its military response doubling the number of air strikes in syria. it's part of the stern message putin has for isis after confirming it was a bomb that brought down a russian jetliner over egypt october 31. isis has taken credit. in the
