A fingerprint of Paris attacks fugitive Salah Abdeslam has been found in a flat in Brussels where explosive belts may been manufactured, said police.

According to The Independent, searchers were initially carried out at the third-floor apartment in Schaerbeek on December 10 where traces of bomb manufacturing material have been revealed now.

The Belgian federal prosecutor said that material that can be used to fabricate explosives and traces of TATP (acetone peroxide) were found.

He said that the flat was rented under a false identity that might have been used by a person already in custody in this case.

Abdeslam, whose brother Brahim blew himself up during the Paris attacks, is still on the run after disappearing following the 13/11 carnage that killed 130 people.
