Brussels: Belgian prosecutors on Monday identified a new accomplice in last year's deadly Paris attacks as 24-year-old Najim Laachraoui, until now known by his false name of Soufiane Kayal. 

"The investigation showed that Soufiane Kayal can be identified as Najim Laachraoui, born on May 18, 1991 and who travelled to Syria in February 2013," prosecutors said in a statement in Brussels.
