Paris attacks: Suspect's fingerprints, DNA found at scene of gun battle at Brussels flat

Fingerprints belonging to Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdel Salam have been found at a Belgian flat where suspected Daesh sympathizers started a shoot-out with police earlier this week, The Independent reported.

One gunman was killed by a sniper but two other suspects are still at large after the raid in the Brussels district of Forest on Tuesday, where four officers were injured.

RTBF, Belgium’s public broadcaster, reported that Abdel Salam may have been one of the men who fled but officials would not confirm whether he was present.

Abdel Salam, a 26-year-old French national, remains on the run after appearing to have removed his suicide vest and fled during the Paris attacks on 13 November, when his older brother Brahim blew himself up.

Abdel Salam's fingerprints were previously found at another Brussels flat where investigators believe explosive belts may have been manufactured ahead of the massacres.
