Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam extradited to France
A key suspect in the Paris attacks has been transferred from Belgium to France, Belgian and French prosecutors confirmed.
Salah Abdeslam was arrested in Belgium last month after four months on the run. He is wanted by the French for his role in the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris that killed 130 victims.
