DEVELOPING -- Explosions rang out Monday during a massive police operation in the Brussels suburb of Molenbeek as investigators searched for a suspect in the Paris massacre, but they said they failed to make any arrests.

Police were seeking the suspected attacker Salah Abdeslam, 26, and any possible associates. Dozens of masked and heavily armed security officials had sealed off the area and neighbors were told to stay out of harm's way. Molenbeek mayor Francoise Schepmans said the operation ended after more than three hours.

One of the suspect's brothers, Brahim Abdeslam, killed himself in Friday's string of attacks. Another brother, Mohammad, was released after being detained over the weekend, according to his attorney. She told the RTL network her client "hadn't made the same life choices."

In all, five of the seven people who were detained over the weekend because of possible links to the massacre have been released, according to the Belgian federal prosecutor's office. Two others have been charged with being part of a

At least two terror suspects were killed, including a woman wearing a suicide vest who blew herself up, and as many as seven others were arrested, after police stormed a suburban Paris apartment targeting the alleged mastermind of last Friday's massacre in the French capital.

Investigators traced the mastermind to that apartment by tracking phone conversations and piecing together surveillance images and witness accounts, according to Paris Prosecutor Francois Molins and French Interior Minister Bernard Cazenueve.

Government spokesman Stephane Le Foll said just before noon (6 a.m. EST) that "the operation is over", more than seven hours after it began in Saint-Denis, north of central Paris. The fate of the suspected planner of Friday's massacre, 27-year-old Belgian ISIS militant Abdelhamid Abaaoud, was unclear. Forensics teams worked at the scene, and a security perimeter around the building remained in place.
