Abrini has been linked to Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam, who was detained in Belgium in March. Security footage from a Ressons gas station, filmed in early November 2016, shows the two men together in a car that was later used in the attacks.

Abrini may also be the man wearing a hat who had been recorded on security camera footage in the Brussels Airport several minutes before the attacks March 22 walking alongside two suicide bombers, Radio Contact reported.
