Paris Terrorist Extradited To France

Authorities in Belgium confirmed the Paris terror attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam had been handed over under a European arrest warrant issued on 19 March - the day after he was arrested in Brussels after four months on the run. 

Salah Abdeslam has been extradited from Belgium to France and will face judges in Paris later.

The French prosecutor's office said Abdeslam arrived in the French capital at 7.05am (9.05am local time).

French prosecutors are expected to request that he be jailed while he awaits charges over the 13 November attacks in Paris, in which 130 people were killed.

His extradition came a day after CCTV footage emerged of his brother Brahim blowing himself up in the Comptoir Voltaire restaurant on the night of the suicide bomb and gun attacks.

Salah Abdeslam reportedly told Belgian investigators he was supposed to detonate a suicide belt at the Stade de France, where the attacks - claimed by Islamic State - began.
