French officials are reportedly seeking a second fugitive involved in the deadly attacks carried out in Paris last week that killed 129 people.
Three French officials who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity have said an analysis of the attacks in the capital on 13 November indicated that one person directly involved in the assault has been unaccounted for.
The person has not been identified, and is said to be sought in addition to Salah Abdeslam, 26, a Belgian-based Frenchman, who is on the run and is wanted on an international arrest warrant.
A justice official told Reuters: "We are in the process of determining how many there may have been. Nothing is ruled out. There's a very strong theory that there was one more, but there may have been even more."
Seven attackers died on the night of 13 November — three around the national stadium, three inside the Bataclan concert venue, and one at a restaurant nearby. A team of gunmen also opened fire at a series of nightspots in one of Paris' trendiest neighbourhoods.
