| Belgium extradites Paris attack suspect Salah Abdeslam | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| Belgium has extradited Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam to face trial in France. | |
| He was wounded and arrested in a dramatic raid in Brussels on 18 March after four months on the run. | |
| The 26-year-old French national was born in Brussels and lived there before the Paris attacks. | |
| Some 130 people were killed and dozens wounded in co-ordinated attacks carried out by so-called Islamic State in Paris on 13 November. | |
| The federal prosecutor said Salah Abdeslam had been "surrendered to the French authorities this morning (in execution of the European Arrest Warrant issued by France on 19 March 2016)". | |
| It is not immediately clear where he has been taken, although it is known that he was transferred recently from prison in Bruges to the high-security jail at Beveren, near Antwerp. | |
| Salah Abdeslam was indicted by Belgian authorities last week over a shoot-out in the Forest area of Brussels in which four police were wounded, three days before he was arrested. |
