(Reuters) - France and Belgium are hunting down suspects and would-be assailants following the Nov. 13 attacks that killed 130 people and injured more than 350 in Paris.

Seven people, all dead, were directly involved in the attack and the total may have been eight or even higher, with investigations centred on Salah Abdeslam. Police think he might be an eighth assailant referred to in a statement where the Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attacks.
