| Salah Abdeslam's brother, Brahim, was one of the attackers. He blew himself up. | |
| The subject of a massive manhunt, Salah Abdeslam was arrested about 500m (1,600ft) from his home in Molenbeek. | |
| Another man who was injured and arrested, Monir Ahmed Alaaj, was also on a wanted list, Belgian prosecutors said. | |
| Three members of a family accused of harbouring Salah Abdeslam were also detained. | |

| Dramatic footage showed him being bundled into a police car after a volley of gunfire. Both suspects were discharged from hospital on Saturday. | |
| French President Francois Hollande said Abdeslam's arrest was "an important moment". | |
| "The battle against terrorism does not end tonight, even though this is a victory," Mr Hollande told a news conference on Friday with Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel. | |
| "We must catch all those who allowed, organised or facilitated these attacks and we realise that they are a lot more numerous than we thought earlier and had identified," he said. | |
| Prosecutors said the second wanted man arrested in Molenbeek, Monir Ahmed Alaaj, had travelled with Abdeslam to Germany last October, where his fingerprints were taken during an identity check. | |
| A false Syrian passport in Alaaj's name and Belgian identity papers under an alias were found in a flat in the southern suburb of Forest that was raided on Tuesday. | |
| Abdeslam's fingerprints were also found in the Forest flat. | |
| One man - identified as Algerian national Mohamed Belkaid and linked to the Paris attacks - was shot dead in Tuesday's raid. | |
| Officials have identified most of the people they believe to have carried out the assaults. | |
| Most of the suspects either died during the attacks or were killed in subsequent police raids. |
