New clues uncovered in Paris terror attacks: Syringes and pizza boxes found in hotel room used by terrorists

French police have discovered safe houses they believe were used by the Paris attack terrorists before their deadly rampage.

Syringes and empty pizza boxes were left behind in two hotel rooms booked by France's most wanted man, Salah Abdeslam, in the Bobigny district.

The syringes and plastic tubing that were littered throughout the hotel rooms have prompted suggestions they used drugs to prepare for the massacre of 132 people on Friday night.

Salah's suicide bomber brother, Ibrahim, has been found to have rented a safehouse 15km away from the hotel rooms.


Investigators have obtained a video confirming there was a ninth attacker in Paris among the men who opened fire on bars and restaurants, sources close to the inquiry told AFP on Tuesday.

The video indicates a second unidentified attacker could be on the run along with 26-year-old Salah Abdeslam, unless the man in the video is one of two suspected accomplices being held in Belgium.

A mobile phone believed to have been used by one of the attackers in the Paris shooting and bombing incidents last week has been recovered.

CNN is reporting that the phone contained a message to the effect of "OK, we're ready".

French and Belgian police have launched a manhunt for Abdeslam in connection with Friday's carnage in Paris, which left at least 129 people dead in the worst attacks in French history.

Abdeslam is believed to have fled after gunning down people at bars and cafes in Paris' 10th and 11th arrondissements alongside his brother Brahim Abdeslam, who later blew himself up outside a bar on Boulevard Voltaire, seriously wounding one person.

The video indicates there was a third suspect in the black Seat car used in the attacks, when five people were gunned down in front of the bar A La Bonne Biere at 9.32 pm, a source close to the inquiry said.

The video shows the assailants firing from the car, which was later found abandoned in Montreuil, east of Paris along with three Kalashnikov assault rifles.

The third man in the car has not been identified, another source close to the inquiry said, without ruling out the possibility that he could be on the run.
