BRUSSELS (AP) — Belgian authorities said the remaining fugitive suspect in the Nov. 13 Paris attacks was arrested in Belgium on Friday, after a raid linked to the deadly March 22 Brussels bombings yielded five detentions in all.

The suspect, Mohamed Abrini, could be the mysterious "man in the hat" who escaped the double bombing at the Zaventem airport, but federal prosecutors said they still needed further verifications.

"We are investigating if Abrini can be identified as the third person at the Brussels national airport, the so- called man with the hat," said prosecutor Eric Van der Sypt.
