The new pictures released
by French TV station were taken at around 9.45am on 14 November and show
Abdeslam with his friend Hamza Attou at a petrol station near the Belgian
border.
The video security footage were
confirmed to be that of the Paris attacks prime suspect Salah Abdeslam.
Abdeslam, a native of
Brussels, is believed to have played a key logistical role in the 13 November
attacks in which 130 people were killed. His older brother Brahim was a suicide
bomber.
Responsibility for the
attacks was claimed by extremists from the so-called Islamic State.
Police have already said
that Abdeslam called two friends Mohammed Amri and Hamza Attou in Brussels
earlier that morning to ask if they could collect him from the French capital
and bring him back to Brussels.
The three men were stopped
near the border by French police but then released, as Abdeslam had not yet
been connected to the French attacks.
Abdeslam, 26, arrived in
Brussels later that day, was met by someone else and then police admit they
"lost him".
