Brussels, Belgium (CNN)French and Belgian police have launched a manhunt for a newly identified suspect linked to November's Paris terror attacks, as revelations about the depth of networks cultivated by a recently captured fugitive fuel concerns about potential future assaults.
Salah Abdeslam, whose DNA was found on a suicide belt discarded on a Paris street after the November 13 attacks, spent more than four months on the run as Europe's most wanted man before he was arrested in a gunbattle in the Brussels suburb of Molenbeek on Friday.
Since his capture, officials have said he was ready to carry out future attacks and was supported by a wide network of associates, and they warned of the possibility of a new wave of ISIS terrorists preparing to carry out further attacks.
In a statement Monday, the Belgian prosecutor's office appealed to the public for sightings of Najim Laachraoui, 24, who has used the alias Soufiane Kayal and traveled with Abdeslam to Budapest, Hungary, in September of last year, the statement said.
