French
detectives questioned one of the jihadis behind Friday's terror attacks
as he crossed the Belgian border and let him go after he showed them his
ID card.
Officers
pulled over Salah Abdelsam on Saturday morning on the A2 motorway
between Paris and Brussels in a hired car used in the attacks.
Detectives
soon discovered their blunder when they discovered that Abdeslam had
rented VW Polo abandoned near the scene of the massacre inside the
Bataclan theatre. However, by the time they alerted Belgian authorities,
the jihadi had abandoned the car in the jihadi stronghold of Molenbeek,
Brussels and disappeared.
An international manhunt has been launched.
French
security officials have admitted that Abdeslam was one of three men
inside the car which had been stopped on the border on Saturday morning.
Officers in Paris had already identified Salah Abdeslam as a person of
interest but that information had not been transmitted to those
responsible for conducting the border checks.
