A man named as Mohammed K. is now being hunted by the authorities for his role in the recent Paris attacks that left 129 dead and many others fighting for their lives.
The man, thought to be from the Caribbean, is believed to be an explosive expert who may have provided the suicide belts used by the terrorist teams during the attacks.
The chief suspect in the massacre, Salah Abdeslam, is thought to have been in contact with Mohammed K. prior to the atrocities committed in Paris last week. The latter is also believed to have assisted Abdeslam to evade capture so far.
A massive police raid in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis this morning yielded some arrests and some suspects killed, but their identities are so far unclear.
