Belgian police arrest Salah Abdeslam, a key suspect in last year's Paris attacks, during an anti-terror raid
The raid in Molenbeek came a few days after police targeted the Brussels suburb of Forest
Salah Abdeslam, a key suspect in last year’s Paris attacks, has been arrested during an anti-terror raid in Brussels. Belgian media report that Abdeslam was injured in the leg this afternoon and arrested in the Molenbeek area of the Belgian capital. Several reports also suggest that a second suspect, who was wounded during the raid, has died.
Abdeslam, a French national born in Brussels, had lived in Molenbeek before the 13 November Paris attacks - claimed by the Islamic State - in which 130 people died.
He has since been the subject of a massive manhunt, and his fingerprints were found in a Brussels flat during a raid on Tuesday.
The events forced Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel to urgently leave an EU-Turkey summit.
