Paris attack suspect Salah Abdel Salam 'escapes in BMW towards Germany

  Salah Abdel Salam, Europe's most wanted man, was once again reportedly spotted by police but managed to escape capture and was thought to be heading towards the German border in a BMW, The Telegraph reported Monday.
Belgian federal prosecutors admitted in a midnight news conference that a massive police and army operation launched across the nation on Sunday evening had failed to catch Abdel Salam, who is accused of participating in the Paris attacks.
He was spotted by Belgian police near the city of Liege around 7.30pm on Sunday evening but managed to evade officers.
The man then headed in the direction of Germany on the E40 motorway and again avoided a police checkpoint set up to intercept him.
Belgian Federal prosecutor Eric Van der Syp gives a press briefing at the end of an evening of operation by Belgian security forces in Brussels, Belgium, 22 November 2015.
Prosecutors confirmed only that Abdel Salam was not among the 16 people arrested in 19 raids on Sunday and refused to take questions about his whereabouts.
The raids took place on Sunday after the Belgian Prime Minister reiterated that there was an "imminent and serious" threat of a terrorist attack.
But prosecutors said no explosives or firearms were seized.
Brussels remained in lockdown with a vast security presence in the city centre and metro services suspended into Monday morning.
The morning after the Friday 13 attacks, Abdel Salam was stopped by French police near the Belgian border in a car with two other men but was allowed to proceed because police did not yet know of his alleged involvement in the Paris massacre.
He has since reportedly been spotted several times at locations across the Belgian capital.
Brussels police revealed that during Sunday's operations they shot at a car that approached a roadblock in the Molenbeek area of the city.
The car escaped but police later found it with a wounded individual inside, according to Eric Van der Syp, federal magistrate.
