Also belgian Authorities Say they were already familiar with at least three suspects before fridays massacre, including the dead attackers, bilal hafdi and brahim abdeslam. French authorities indicate that belgian citizen Abdelhamid Abaaoud had been targeted in the past for other plots, but that he could not be found. Right now, his whereabouts an even greater priority.
