Salah Abdeslam, Paris attacks suspect and the most wanted man in Europe, was arrested Friday in Belgium, local media reported.

During a large-scale police operation in the Brussels municipality of Molenbeek, Abdeslam was arrested along with another suspect. He had been shot and wounded in the leg, according to Belgian national television RTBF.

Friday's operation follows a raid on Tuesday in the Brussels district of Forest in which one suspect was killed. Abdeslam's fingerprints were later found in the raided apartment. He was believed to have been hiding there for several months. So far, all indications are that he was one of the two suspects who managed to escape after the police action on Tuesday. Endit
