French intelligence services believe Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam has escaped to Syria, according to a source close to the investigation and a counterterrorism source.

Police also believe Abdeslam bought 10 detonators from a fireworks shop on Paris' northern outskirts before the November 13 attacks, the source close to the investigation said. The detonators cost 10 euros (about $10.60) each, and Abdeslam also bought batteries at the Saint-Ouen l'Aumône shop, Les Magiciens du Feu, which translates to "Fire Magicians."

The store manager alerted authorities after Abdeslam's name and photograph were released to the public, the French newspaper Le Parisien reported.
