Belgium police 'identify' safehouses used by Paris attackers

Brussels: Belgian police have found three safehouses that were used by suspects before they carried out the terror attacks in Paris, prosecutors said on Wednesday.

"The investigators were able to identify three premises that have been used by the conspiring perpetrators of the attacks of 13th November 2015,"  a spokesman for federal prosecutor Eric Van Der Sypt said in a statement in English.

The premises comprised a flat in the city of Charleroi where investigators found a fingerprint of suspected ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud; a flat in Brussels district Schaerbeek already identified on Friday; and a small house in the rural village of Auvelais near the French border.
