Hungary: Paris fugitive recruited men amid Budapest migrants

(ANSA-AP) - BUDAPEST — Hungary's government has confirmed that Salah Abdeslam, a fugitive suspected in the deadly Paris attacks, was in the Budapest train station before mid-September and left with men who had been traveling amid a wave of asylum-seekers trying to enter Europe.

Janos Lazar, Prime Minister Viktor Orban's chief of staff, says Thursday at a press conference that the Hungarian secret services had confirmed information about Abdeslam they had received from foreign agencies. He says the agency did not have this information at the time of the Nov. 13 Paris attacks nor even as the Budapest train station became a hotspot last summer during Europe's migrant crisis.
