The investigation into the Paris attacks is actively seeking two new suspects, French media has reported.

Police are seeking two suspects accused of aiding Salah Abdeslam, who is still on the run after the latest wave of raids in Belgium failed to find him.

The unnamed pair are "armed and dangerous", according to the Belgian prosecutor's office, and are thought to have helped Abdeslam travel to Hungary in September.

He is thought to have travelled to Budapest twice in September, using a rental car.

The prosecutor also said a fake identity card belonging to one of pair was used to transfer money to the cousin of the ringleader of the attacks, Abdelhamid Abaaoud.

Multiple coordinated terrorist attacks in Paris on 13 November left 130 people dead and more than 350 wounded.
