Srikandi Polis Belgium masih mencari Salah Abdeslam, salah seorang peserta dalam serangan keganasan Paris pada November 13. Dia bukan antara 16 orang yang ditahan dalam serbuan pada Ahad dan pihak berkuasa takut dia boleh merancang serangan lain.

Beberapa penerbitan media Belgium telah menyebutkan laporan yang tidak disahkan bahawa Abdeslam telah dilihat di dalam kereta berhampiran bandar Leige dan menuju ke sempadan hampir dengan Jerman. Terdapat juga banyak haiwan lain yang berusia 26 tahun itu, yang setakat ini mengelak menangkap walaupun pemburuan besar-besaran di seluruh benua.

Jack Rice, seorang peguam pertahanan jenayah dan bekas pegawai CIA, bercakap dengan RT dan menggariskan bagaimana ia tidak akan menjadi sukar bagi seseorang untuk mengesan 'hilang' dalam salah satu daripada banyak komuniti pendatang Eropah.

"Ia tidak menghairankan kepada saya bahawa satu orang boleh cair ke dalam masyarakat keseluruhan. Kita perlu lihat pada bilangan komuniti berbeza di seluruh Eropah yang mempunyai dalam beberapa cara mengasingkan diri mereka atau telah diasingkan. Oleh itu, untuk mencairkan ke dalam salah satu masyarakat sebagai seorang individu yang mudah sudah pasti sesuatu yang boleh berlaku, "kata Rice.

"Kita perlu kembali dan cuba untuk memahami mengapa terdapat pelbagai pertubuhan dan orang-orang yang begitu berbeza dan begitu terpencil," katanya.

Paris terror suspect Abdeslam still at large after week-long manhunt . . .

Belgian police are still searching for Salah Abdeslam, one of the participants in the Paris terror attacks on November 13. He was not among 16 people arrested during raids on Sunday and the authorities fear he could be planning another attack.

Several Belgian media publications have cited unconfirmed reports that Abdeslam had been seen in a car near the city of Leige and was heading to the near-by German border. There have also been numerous other sightings of the 26-year-old, who has so far evaded capture despite a massive manhunt across the continent.

Jack Rice, a criminal defense lawyer and former CIA officer, spoke to RT and outlined how it would not be hard for a person to effectively ‘disappear’ within one of Europe’s numerous migrant communities.

“It is not surprising to me that one person can melt into an entire community. We need to take a look at the number of disparate communities around Europe that have in some ways isolated themselves or have been isolated. As a result, to melt into one of those communities as one simple individual is certainly something that can happen,” Rice said.

“We need to come back and try to understand why there are various organizations and peoples who are so disparate and so isolated,” he added.

Pendakwa Belgium telah mengeluarkan satu kenyataan mengenai sebuah kereta yang mencurigakan, yang dihalau keluar pada petang Ahad, kerana polis cuba untuk menjalankan carian rutin. Terdapat telah syak wasangka ia boleh dikaitkan dengan Abdeslam, bagaimanapun, ini telah ditolak oleh polis.

"Malam Semalam di rantau Liege, sebuah kenderaan BMW bergegas kira apabila ditarik ke atas oleh polis untuk pemeriksaan rutin. Kenderaan itu yang dikenal pasti. Pertanyaan selanjutnya menunjukkan bahawa tidak ada hubungan sama sekali dengan operasi yang berterusan, "kata kenyataan itu.

Abdeslam telah melarikan diri selama lebih seminggu selepas abangnya, Brahim, meletupkan dirinya di sebuah kafe semasa serangan keganasan Paris. Selepas melarikan diri daripada ibu negara Perancis, Abdeslam dalam kereta perjalanan di dihentikan 3 kali oleh pihak polis kerana ia menuju ke Brussels. Namun pemain berusia 26 tahun itu dibenarkan untuk meneruskan perjalanan pada setiap kesempatan dan kemudiannya terlepas daripada tangkapan.

Salah satu daripada mereka berhenti mengambil tempat di pusat pemeriksaan di sempadan Belgium hanya beberapa jam selepas serangan itu. Abdeslam telah dibenarkan untuk meneruskan selepas menunjukkan ID, perkhidmatan keselamatan tidak sedar pada masa itu bahawa dia telah terlibat dalam serangan itu.

A Belgian prosecutor has released a statement regarding a suspicious car, which drove off on Sunday evening, as police tried to carry out a routine search. There had been suspicions it could have been linked to Abdeslam, however, this has been dismissed by police.

“Yesterday night in the Liege region, a vehicle BMW rushed off when pulled over by police for a routine check. The vehicle was identified. Further enquires showed that there is no link at all with the ongoing operation,” the statement read.

Abdeslam has been on the run for over a week after his elder brother, Brahim, blew himself up at a cafe during the Paris terror attacks. After fleeing the French capital, the car Abdeslam was travelling in was stopped three times by police as it headed to Brussels. However the 26-year-old was allowed to continue his journey on each occasion and has subsequently been able to avoid capture.

One of those stops took place at a checkpoint on the Belgian border just hours after the attacks. Abdeslam was allowed to proceed after showing his ID, as the security services did not realize at the time that he had been involved in the attacks.

Pihak berkuasa terus mencari Abdeslam, dan sejumlah 19 serbuan dilakukan di ibu negara Belgium Brussels dan bandar perindustrian Charleroi, dengan sejumlah 16 orang yang ditangkap. Abdeslam bukan di kalangan mereka yang telah ditahan.

Abdeslam berasal dari daerah Molenbeek di Brussels, yang mempunyai masyarakat pendatang yang besar. Datuk Bandar Brussels sendiri menyifatkan daerah itu sebagai "tempat pembiakan keganasan radikal" dengan tahap yang tinggi pengangguran belia dan jenayah.

Pada tahun 2010, manakala seorang mekanik kereta api negeri pelatih Abdeslam dipenjara rompakan bersenjata. Beliau sejenayah pada masa itu adalah Abdelhamid Abaaoud, kawan zaman kanak-kanak yang 2 tahun lebih tua - dan orang yang disyaki sebagai "dalang" di belakang serangan ganas Paris.

Abdeslam, bagaimanapun, nampaknya tidak pernah melakukan apa-apa untuk menimbulkan syak wasangka - sekurang-kurangnya mengikut mereka yang tinggal di sampingnya.

Ia muncul minggu lepas bahawa Abdeslam diletakkan dalam senarai di seluruh negara kira-kira 800 radikal disyaki - walaupun pihak berkuasa telah nampaknya beliau tidak pernah disoal siasat.

Walaupun ancaman dilihat, dia dibenarkan untuk bergerak bebas di seluruh EU. Pada bulan September beliau mengembara ke Austria untuk apa yang dia katakan adalah "break," menurut Austria Kementerian Dalam Negeri. Penyiasat kini cuba untuk menentukan dengan tepat bagaimana beliau menghabiskan masa dan beliau yang mungkin telah bertemu ketika di sana.

Ia juga muncul bahawa Abdeslam telah ditangkap di Sepanyol untuk memandu dalam keadaan mabuk hanya beberapa minggu sebelum serangan keganasan Paris. Dia didenda kerana memandu lebih had dan kereta beliau telah ditahan, tetapi tiada tindakan lanjut diambil, walaupun beliau yang terdapat dalam senarai yang disyaki jihad Belgium.

The authorities are continuing to search for Abdeslam, and a total of 19 raids were carried out in the Belgian capital Brussels and the industrial city of Charleroi, with a total of 16 people being arrested. Abdeslam was not among those who were detained.

Abdeslam hails from the Molenbeek district of Brussels, which has a large immigrant community. Brussels’s own mayor has described the district as a “breeding ground for radical violence” with a high level of youth unemployment and crime.

In 2010, while a trainee state rail mechanic, Abdeslam was jailed for armed robbery. His accomplice at the time was Abdelhamid Abaaoud, a childhood friend who was two years older – and the man suspected of being the “mastermind” behind the Paris terror attacks.

Abdeslam, however, appears never to have done anything to arouse suspicion – at least according to those who lived alongside him.

It emerged last week that Abdeslam was on a countrywide list of about 800 suspected radicals – though the authorities have apparently never interrogated him.

Despite the perceived threat, he was allowed to travel freely throughout the EU. In September he travelled to Austria for what he said was a “holiday,” according to the Austrian Interior Ministry. Investigators are now attempting to determine exactly how he spent his time and who he may have met while there.

It also emerged that Abdeslam was arrested in Spain for drink driving just a few weeks before the Paris terror attacks. He was fined for driving over the limit and his car was impounded, but no further action was taken, despite him appearing on list of suspected Belgian jihadists.

Hari selepas serangan Paris, EU berkata ia akan meningkatkan kawalan sempadan dan pemeriksaan dokumen di seluruh blok. Perancis telah mengkritik Belgium untuk tidak melakukan secukupnya untuk menjaga tab pada radikal diketahui, Walaupun terdapat kebimbangan bahawa penjenayah terkenal dan suspek telah dapat memasuki EU melalui negara di mana data tidak diadakan, dan kemudian melakukan perjalanan di seluruh benua dgn mudah.

Kira-kira separuh daripada data mengenai radikal disyaki datang dari hanya 5 daripada 28 negara anggota, pegawai-pegawai telah berkata, tanpa mendedahkan mereka yang gagal untuk membantu: "Sebahagian daripada mereka [membantu] Tidak semua daripada mereka [membantu]," Pengarah Europol Rob Wainwright kepada Reuters. "Terus terang, mereka perlu melakukan lebih banyak."

Ibu kota Belgium sedang mengalami hari yang ke-3 daripada kuncian pada hari Isnin, dengan metro, sekolah dan banyak kedai-kedai ditutup di seluruh bandar. Pihak berkuasa takut Abdeslam boleh cuba untuk membuat serangan ala Paris di Brussels.

"Apa yang kita bimbang adalah serangan yang sama dengan yang di Paris, dengan beberapa individu yang mungkin boleh melancarkan beberapa serangan pada masa yang sama di pelbagai lokasi," Perdana Menteri Charles Michel pada sidang akhbar awal pada petang Ahad.

Days after the Paris attacks, the EU said it would be stepping up border controls and document checks across the bloc. France has been critical of Belgium for not doing enough to keep tabs on known radicals, while there has been concern that known criminals and suspects have been able to enter the EU via a country where data is not held, and then travel around the continent easily.

About half of the data regarding suspected radicals comes from just five of the 28 member states, officials have said, without revealing those failing to help: "Some of them are [helping]. Not all of them are [helping]," Europol Director Rob Wainwright told Reuters. "Frankly, they need to do more."

The Belgian capital is experiencing its third day of lockdown on Monday, with the metro, schools and many shops closed across the city. The authorities fear Abdeslam could try to create a Paris-style attack in Brussels.

"What we fear is an attack similar to the one in Paris, with several individuals who could possibly launch several attacks at the same time in multiple locations," Prime Minister Charles Michel told a news conference early on Sunday evening.
