Salah Abdeslam, believed to be the sole surviving Paris terrorist, has made it back to Syria after weeks on the run, according to intelligence sources close to the manhunt.

French and Belgian police and intelligence officials have been searching for Abdeslam ever since the November 13 attacks, which left 130 people dead in the capital.

But investigators are now working on the basis that Abdeslam, Europe’s most wanted man, has made it back into Syria, according to CNN.

After shooting people in Paris on the night of the attacks, Abdeslam decided against blowing himself up, and had two associated pick him up in a rented car.
