Belgian court okay extraditing suspect Abdeslam to France

Belgium has approved the extradition of Paris suspect Salah Abdeslam to France, prosecutors say.

Abdeslam and French authorities had both been seeking to have the suspect extradited to face justice over his role in the deadly November 13 attacks in Paris that left 130 dead.

Earlier, Abdeslam’s lawyer said he would cooperate with French Authorities once he was extradited to France, which he wanted to happen swiftly.

Abdeslam is thought to be the sole surviving attacker from the assault. He was arrested in Belgium on March 18.
