The most wanted fugitive from November’s Paris attacks has been “caught alive” after being wounded in a Brussels shootout.
The Belgian asylum minister Theo Francken declared, “We got him”, referring to 26-year-old Salah Abdeslam, Europe’s most wanted man.
Abdeslam suffered leg injuries before being arrested, during a major police operation in the Molenbeek suburb.
Abdeslam had become the world’s most wanted terrorist since Osama bin Laden.
