French police are intensifying the hunt for the suspected terrorists.

Three government sources anonymously confirm to the news agency AP that they are now looking for two people who are suspected of direct involvement in the attacks.

So another person besides the internationally wanted Salah Abdeslam is being hunted.

It is still unclear how many perpetrators were involved in the terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday and several accomplices to the terrorists may still be at large, said French Prime Minister Manuel Valls today in an interview with France Inter, Bloomberg reports.

Arrested in Germany released

German police said a total of five people had been arrested near the Belgian border following a tip-off from the public that the wanted Salah Abdeslam had been seen near the village of Alsdorf near Aachen.

However, the police were unsure how the detainees could be linked to the terrorist attack, and on Tuesday evening they were released:

"Unfortunately, it was not the man we hoped it would be," said Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere, reports AP.

In Paris, police made 128 strikes during the night until Tuesday.

The information on the total number of detainees varies, but yesterday 23 people were arrested according to the Minister of the Interior.

On Tuesday, a car was also found that was rented by the suspected eighth assassin, Salah Abdeslam, and which may have been used in the terrorist preparations in northern Paris, police sources tell AFP.

Two detainees in Belgium

In Belgium, five of the seven people arrested after the attacks were released yesterday.

The two people still in custody are suspected of having made the bomb belts used in the Paris attacks, reports Belgian La Libre.

According to the newspaper, the police have found the fertilizer ammonium nitrate in the men's homes. 

The substance can be used to make bombs, but the men claim that the fertilizer would only be used for their garden.

At the men's home, police have found ammunition for Kalashnikov-type automatic weapons.

Fetched assassin by car

According to La Libre Belgique, the men are also suspected of having picked up the suspected assassin Salah Abdeslam from Paris after the act and driven him back to Brussels.

They themselves state, according to the newspaper's sources, that they did not know that he participated in the act and that he called them and asked them to pick him up in Paris at two o'clock on Saturday night.

- We did not talk much.

He was a bit stressed, the answer should have been when the men were asked what they talked about during the drive.

The internationally wanted Salah Abdeslam is said to have stopped at the French-Belgian border on Saturday morning but was allowed to pass after an ID check, according to previous information in several media.

On Monday, a large police operation was carried out in the Brussels district of Molenbeek in the hunt for Abdeslam.

But the effort failed and Salah Abdeslam is still at large.

Encourages the brother to give up

In an interview with Belgian BFTM, the brother of the wanted Salah Abdesalams appeals to him to give up and surrender to the police.

The brother was arrested and interrogated on Saturday but has now been released and removed from the suspicions of involvement in the terrorist attack.

-I and my whole family condemn all forms of violence.

We are shocked by what happened in Paris, says Mohamed Abdeslam.
