A Brussels television network has uncovered previously unknown footage of Salah Abdeslam, the fugitive from the Nov. 13 Paris attacks, whose capture appears to have precipitated the March 22 bombing in Brussels.
In the August 2014 footage revealed by tvbrussel on Wednesday, Abdeslam is seen strolling casually through the Molenbeek market in the Belgian capital with an unidentified companion.
Abdeslam, like many of the men in the Islamic State group cell blamed for the pair of deadly attacks, is a native of the Brussels neighborhood.
The news director of the TV station said the images were found by chance when an editor was looking for archive footage of Molenbeek.
The face of Abdeslam's companion was hidden "in the interest of the investigation," the network's website quoted the news director as saying.
