Amid conflicting reports on the arrest of Paris carnage suspect Salah Abdeslam during raids in Brussels suburb of Molenbeek, notorious as an Islamist hotspot, investigators Monday identified the alleged sponsor and mastermind of Friday’s massacre as Abdelhamid Abaaoud.
While RTL radio earlier reported the arrest of Abdeslam, Belgian broadcaster RTBF cited a federal prosecutor as saying the man arrested in the Brussels district of Molenbeek was not him.
On Sunday, French and Belgian authorities released a photo and issued an international arrest warrant for 26-year-old Abdeslam, saying he is very dangerous and warning the public not to directly intervene if they see him.
Abdeslam was raised in Molenbeek. The alleged mastermind of the massacre, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, is also said to be from the same Brussels district.
