A suspect in the Paris terror attacks dubbed ‘Public Enemy Number One’ allegedly stayed at a budget hotel near the French capital, from where he planned the atrocities.
As armed French police hunting down the terror suspects stormed a flat in the northern Parisian suburb of St Denis early this morning, it emerged that one of those involved in Friday night’s attacks – Salah Abdeslam – has spent two nights at the Appart’City Paris Alfortville hotel.
He paid for two rooms using his own credit card, reported French TV station BFMTV.
Le Point magazine reported that syringes and pizza boxes were found in rooms 311 and 312 and six matches of DNA to the attackers.
Other items were being analysed to discover if they had been used to make explosive belts.
Armed police swooped on the hotel, located close to the River Seine, on Sunday morning.
Since the attacks on Friday night, several schools in the UK have cancelled trips to France. The French Education Ministry has cancelled all French school trips within France until November 22 and the Foreign Office said French authorities are advising foreign schools not to travel to France ‘for the time being’.
