French police have issued a photograph of the third man involved in the attacks at the Stade de France.

The National Police published the image of the man, who blew himself up at France's national stadium along with two other attackers on 13 November, on Twitter.

Suspected Paris attacker Salah Abdelslam is still on the run after he evaded a series of late-night police raids in Belgium and the country started a third day of lockdown.

Officials said they arrested at least 16 suspects in 19 raids late on Sunday night aimed at rolling up a terrorist network which authorities believe is planning an attack similar to the one which left 130 people dead in Paris 10 days ago.

At least eight attackers targeted a series of restaurants and France's national stadium during an international match against Germany before three of them took scores of people hostage and then blew themselves up at the Bataclan theatre.

Omar Ismail Mostefai, Samy Amimour and one other attacked the Bataclan. Bilal Hadfi and two others attacked the Stade de France, and Brahim Abdeslam and Salah Abdeslam are suspected of attacking restaurants in the 10th and 11th arrondisements of the French capital.

French president François Hollande and British prime minister David Cameron visited the Bataclan concert venue, which saw the worst carnage of the Paris attacks, on Monday morning.

The two were meeting as the French leader presses for a stronger international coalition against Islamic State. He is heading to Washington and Moscow later in the week.
