Fugitive 'escapes' border check post

Hours after the synchronised attacks that terrorised Paris, French police questioned and released the suspect who is now the focus of an international manhunt, officials have said. Saleh Abdelslam, 26, was one of three men in a getaway car, headed for France's border with Belgium, when police pulled them over after daybreak Saturday. It's not clear why the local French police, known as gendarmes, didn't take Abdelslam into custody. They checked his identification, but it's not known whether they had been informed of his apparent connection to the attacks.
