German police hunt top Paris suspect after tip

Police in northwestern Germany say they’re investigating a tip received from a member of the public that a suspect wanted in the Paris attacks may be hiding out in a rural area near Hanover.

Bielefeld police said Tuesday that they had been given a specific address in the nearby Minden-Luebbecke area where Salah Abdeslam was alleged to have been hiding, but so far after “an intensive investigation” have not found any sign that he had been there.

Abdeslam is thought to have crossed into Belgium the morning after the attacks and is the subject of a massive manhunt.
