How Paris attackers slipped through police net


The man identified as the ringleader, Abdelhamid Abaaoud.

PARIS: There were multiple chances to stop the men who attacked Paris.

In January, the Turkish authorities detained one of the suicide bombers at Turkey's border and deported him to Belgium. Brahim Abdeslam, the Turkish authorities told Belgian police at the time, had been "radicalised" and was suspected of wanting to join the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), a Turkish security source told Reuters.
