Paris attacks suspect Abdeslam charged

Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam has been charged with terrorism offences a day after he was seized in a dramatic raid in Brussels.
He is charged with participation in terrorist murder and the activities of a terrorist group, Belgium’s federal prosecutor’s office says.
Abdeslam will fight extradition to France, but has been co-operating with police, his lawyer says.
The Paris attacks in November left 130 people dead and dozens injured.
The so-called Islamic State (IS) group said it was behind the bombings and shootings.
Abdeslam, a 26-year-old French national born in Belgium, was arrested after four months on the run.
Investigators hope Abdeslam, who was shot in the leg during his arrest, will reveal more information about the IS network behind the attacks, its financing and plans.— BBC News
