PARIS — A dragnet across Europe widened on Tuesday to include a second fugitive suspected of having taken part in the Paris terrorist attacks, as officials tried to make sense of a torrent of emerging intelligence about the planning and execution of the attacks.
and Belgium continued their pursuit of one fugitive, Salah Abdeslam, 26, a Frenchman who is believed to have escaped to Brussels, while two French officials — who were briefed on the investigation but were not authorized to discuss operational details — said on Tuesday evening that the authorities were looking for an accomplice who was directly involved in the attacks.
Seven attackers died in the assaults on Friday night, but it now appears that at least nine took part or played some role.
Some of the attackers, who killed 129 people in a closely coordinated series of assaults that lasted three hours, rented a house in the northeast Paris suburb of Bobigny last week, telling the landlady they were businessmen from Belgium, and a hotel suite in the southeast Paris suburb of Alfortville, officials said.
