A Belgian federal prosecutor has said the fingerprints of a prime suspect in the Paris attacks has been found in a Brussels apartment raided this week, according to Belga news agency.

Salah Abdeslam is likely to have one of two suspects who evaded police during the raid on Tuesday, Belgian public broadcaster RTBF said.

"According to our information, it is more than likely that he is one of the two individuals who escaped during the shootout," it said on its website.

One Islamist gunman was shot dead by a police sniper and four officers were wounded during the raid.

Two suspects who were detained for questioning by police were later released.
