Paris attacks mastermind Abdelhamid Abaaoud had become an “emir”
Mohamed Abrini told Belgian investigators
that the extremist network was much larger than previously known and
that the attacks in the French and Belgian capitals were linked.
Abrini
added the Paris attacks mastermind Abdelhamid Abaaoud had become an
"emir" - or Muslim ruler - with "1,000 men under him, including many
Belgians and French".
He also warned that tighter checks at borders between countries was futile in preventing further attacks in Europe.

Abrini told police: "Security at the borders can never protect anyone.
"It's
just the politicians who want to delude people that they protect them,
but there is usually no security. It has never been real."
A
transcript of Abrini's interrogation also reveals that he he took
photos of a football stadium in Manchester during a trip organised by
Abaaoud.
