REUTERS - France and Belgium are trying to track down any living assailants and would-be assailants after the Friday, Nov. 13, attacks on Paris. French authorities say the suspected ringleader, Belgian Abdelhamid Abaaoud, was among those killed in a police assault in Saint Denis, north of Paris, on Wednesday. Here's what we know about the attackers who died in Friday's attacks and Wednesday's police assault as well as others key to investigations. SUMMARY OF KEY EVENTS Nov 13: Seven dead assailants, not all named, played direct roles in the Nov. 13 attacks: 3 at the Bataclan hall, 3 outside the Stade de France stadium, 1 in cafe killings. Nov 18: Three people died and 8 were arrested in a Nov. 18 police assault on a building in Saint Denis. A statement from the office of French public prosecutor Francois Molins on Thursday said that a body was identified as that of prime suspect Abaaoud. Abdelhamid Abaaoud, Belgian, 28, grew up in the Molenbeek district of Brussels, but vanished in 2013 and showed up in Syria. His father Omar has accused him of kidnapping his younger brother Younes who at the age of 13 was vaunted as becoming the youngest foreign fighter in Syria. He was jailed for robbery in 2010 and spent time alongside Salah Abdeslam. His possible presence in the Saint Denis flat was part of the reason for the Nov. 18 police assault. Up until Wednesday Nov. 18, Abaaoud was believed to be in Syria. CCTV coverage showed him in the Paris metro underground rail network near the place where one car used in the attacks was found, according to a police source. The news prompted media speculation that he too may have taken part directly in the Nov. 13 attacks, and not just organised them.

Suspected of having rented black VW Polo car used in attacks in Paris. Lawyer Xavier Carette told Belgian broadcaster RTBF that Abdeslam returned from Paris to Brussels on Saturday morning after being stopped by French police three times along the way. His brother, Brahim, was killed in the attack (below). His whereabouts are unknown, French PM Manual Valls said on Nov. 19.

BROADER SWEEPS: France Eight were taken into custody in the Nov. 18 raid, of whom three were pulled from the targeted flat and two more from the rubble of building where the flat was located. Another three were arrested in the vicinity: the man believed to have provided the flat, a woman who was with him and another man. Police have taken 60 people into custody and put a further 118 under house arrest after more than 400 raids as of Wednesday in broader sweeps on suspected Islamist militants; arms finds during searches came to 87 weapons including 11 military-grade weapons, long rifles and handguns.

Lawyer Carette told RTBF his client Mohammad Amri and a friend were unwitting accomplices who knew nothing about any role in attacks when Amri drove Salah Abdeslam back from Paris to Brussels. Mohammad Abdeslam, brother of Salah and Brahim (dead), was among five released after preliminary questioning. Police searched another six addresses on Nov. 19 in relation to the Paris attacks and detained one. Much of the focus is on Molenbeek, a poor Brussels district that is home to many Muslim immigrants. SECURITY SPENDING PLANS: France plans to spend around 600 million euros on additional security in 2016 after President Francois Hollande announced that its European Union commitments to deficit control would take a back seat to spending on measures including hiring of 5,000 extra police, 2,500 extra judiciary staff and 1,000 extra customs office staff. Belgium will spend an extra 400 million euros ($427 million) on the fight against Islamist violence, Prime Minister Charles Michel said on Thursday, with more funds to fight hate speech, track potential extremists and boost its intelligence services.
