Paris:
A huge operation is under way in France to hunt for a suspect with links to a man who claimed responsibility for the Paris terror attacks.
There is massive deployment of police around Artigat in South West France near the Spanish border.
Witnesses say 40 police vehicles, including armoured ones, are now stationed in a small village to which all access has been blocked.
Two helicopters have also been seen flying over the area.
On Monday night, police sources said an object, "most certainly" an explosive belt, was found in a garbage bin near the area in the south suburb of Paris (Montrouge) where Salah Abdeslam, one of the prime suspect, still on the run, was located by phone tracking.
