The accomplice of the Parisian suicide bomber has travelled through Hungary

Metropol.hu reports that the Belgian police captured and identified a young man, who arrived to Belgium from Syria last autumn, and then helped the Parisian suicide bomber to prepare the attack.

According to the authorities, the 24 years old Najim Laachraoui joined ISIS in 2013 in Syria, and taking advantage of the migration wave he returned to Belgium illegally, crossing Hungary on his way.

Based on the Advocate General’s announcement the suspect was one of the passengers of Salah Abdeslam, captured on Friday, and crossed the Austrian-Hungarian border on 9 September last year; they were asked to identify themselves, but the passengers had fake papers.

Based on the results of the DNA tests, Najim Laachraoui, alias Soufiane Kayal, rented his house in Auvelais using fake papers; the police later searched the premises, suspecting that the bombs were made there. According to a source who is familiar with the investigation, the man’s DNA could be found on the remains of the bombs used in Paris.

The same man’s DNA was also found in Brussels’ Schaerbeek District in a rented apartment, where the explosive belts for the 13 November 2015 Paris attacks were made.
