Police release name, photo of 8th suspect in Paris attacks

French police are searching for a possible eighth suspect on the run in Friday's series of terrorist attacks in Paris that killed at least 129 people. Authorities released his name, Salah Abdeslam, along with a photo Sunday.

Abdeslam, reportedly a 26-year-old born in Brussels, is suspected of renting the car that attackers used to get to the Bataclan concert hall, one of several attack sites, The Associated Press reports.

An official told AP that Abdeslam is one of three brothers thought to be involved in the terrorist attacks, with another dead in the attack and the third arrested in Belgium.
