Scores of Raids in France, Belgium amid Search for Paris Suspect 
-----------------------------------------------------------------


 
French authorities said they believed the Paris attacks were carried out
by eight assailants working in three teams. Seven of the men died in the
attacks and a massive manhunt is underway for the eighth—Salah
Abdeslam, a Belgian-born French national. Two of his brothers were said
to have died in the attack. Several of the attackers were French
nationals. Overnight, French authorities carried out 168 raids, making
23 arrests, as part of the investigation. Police in the Belgian city of
Molenbeek also carried out a series of raids this morning.
