Belgian and French authorities were hunting two new suspects Friday in the Paris attacks who they say used fake identity cards around Europe and sent money to a relative of the man who orchestrated the attacks the day before the ringleader died in a shootout with French police.
The two men, carrying bogus ID in the names of Samir Bouzid and Soufiane Kayal, had been traveling in a Mercedes with another Paris attacks fugitive, Salah Abdeslam, when the car was checked September 9 at the Hungarian-Austrian border, the Belgian Federal Prosecutor's office said in a statement Friday.
The same Kayal ID was used to rent a house in the Belgian town of Auvelais that authorities have searched as a possible site for making the suicide bombs used in the November 13 Paris attacks, the prosecutor's office said.
