Belgian authorities investigating the Paris attacks have issued an international arrest warrant for Mohamed Abrini.

Reports say the police are looking for Abrini because he was seen in a car with fugitive Salah Abdelslam on November 11th, two days before the attacks which killed 130 people.

Police have said Abrini is ‘dangerous’ and ‘probably armed’ and the car he was pictured in is believed to have been the same Renault Clio used in the attacks.

A statement issued from the federal prosecutor reads: “Salah Abdeslam was filmed in a gas station in Ressons… together with a person who has been identified as Mohamed Abrini, born 27 December 1984.

‘The latter was driving the Renault Clio used two days later for committing the attacks.

‘The Investigating Judge has issued a European and International arrest warrant against Mohamed Abrini”.

Salah Abdeslam is also the subject of a global manhunt as police believe he helped co-ordinate the atrocities which took place in Paris on November 13th.
