Friends Say ISIS Paris Fugitive Called Them; Desperate, Hiding in Brussels

The fugitive ISIS gunman from the Paris attacks, Salah Abdeslam, is hiding in the Brussels area and has called friends to help him get back to Syria, according to two friends who told ABC News that they and a third friend spoke with Abdeslam this week via Skype on a cell phone. Abdeslam’s brother, Mohamed, confirmed two of the friends told him about Abdeslam's desperate phone call, and today Mohamed urged his brother to turn himself in to police.

"I believe he is not far away," said Mohamed Abdeslam outside his apartment building in Brussels.

Police have issued an international arrest warrant for Salah Abdeslam, 26, who authorities said fled the scene in Paris and returned to his hometown in the Brussels area the morning after the shooting. He is described as armed and dangerous.

A man who investigators believe is the 26-year-old fugitive misfired his AK-47 after aiming the assault rifle at the head of a young woman outside the café, the Mail reported.

The left side shows Abdeslam in a normal outfit and without any accessories, while the right side shows him donning a dark wig and glasses. He confessed he was the getaway driver in a Seat Leon - along with his brother Ibrahim and another French suspect - but denied being one of the shooters, insisting his role in the attack was to simply make French contacts on behalf of the gang. She added that they hope Salah will surrender after hearing about the death of Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the alleged mastermind of the attacks that killed at least 129 people and injured about 350 others.

Belgian police posted a video message, warning the public that Abdeslam is unsafe, and likely armed.

A friend, who wished to remain anonymous, said: "I met Salah on Tuesday night". His current whereabouts are not clear.
