Paris Attacks: Authorities Searching for 2 New Suspects Who Used Fake Names, Traveled With Attacker
The prosecutor's office is asking the public to look out for both men.
— -- Belgian and French authorities are searching for two men now connected to the Nov. 13 Paris attacks, who Belgian authorities said used fake names and traveled with one of the suspected attackers two months before the massacre.
In September, the wanted men drove with fugitive Salah Abdeslam, an already-known suspect wanted in connection with the attacks, from Belgium to Hungary, the federal prosecutor's office in Belgium said.
The men traveled in a Mercedes and used fake Belgian identity cards with the names "Samir Bouzid" and "Soufiane Kayal," the prosecutor's office said. They were stopped by police on Sept. 9 at the Austrian-Hungarian border.
Then, just four days after the attacks, the card with the name "Samir Bouzid" was used at a Western Union Office in the Brussels area. An amount of 750 euros -- or about $813 -- was transferred to Hasna Ait Boulahcen, the cousin of one of the attackers, according to the prosecutor's office.
Additionally, the false identity of "Soufiane Kayal" was used to rent the house in Auvelais, Belgium, that police searched on Nov. 26, the prosecutor's office said.
The public is urged to look out for both men, who are wanted by both Belgian and French police. Both men should be considered dangerous and possibly armed, the prosecutor's office said.
