French police have released a photo of a man they believed could have been involved in the terror attacks which took place in Paris on Friday night.

An international arrest warrant has been issued for 26-year-old Belgian native, Abdeslam Salah (pictured below).

French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said that the attacks “were prepared abroad, by a group of individuals based in Belgium” and they had “accomplices in France”.

Abdeslam has been described as “a dangerous individual” and the public have been warned not to approach him but to get in touch with the authorities immediately.

French officials originally identified eight attackers and last night, they confirmed that seven of those had died.

The New York Times reports that French forces are now looking for a eighth man in connection with the attacks.

It is not yet clear if Abdeslam Salah is that man.
