Paris terror suspect Has been Charged with terrorist murder.
A day after being captured in a fierce gunbattle in Belgium, Salah Abdeslam has been charged with participation in a terrorist murder — last fall’s horrific attacks in Paris that left 130 people dead, prosecutors said Saturday.
Abdeslam also was charged with taking part in the activities in a terrorist organization, according to a statement from the Belgian federal prosecutor’s office. The office doesn’t specify which terror group, though ISIS claimed it was responsible for the Paris carnage.
Monir Ahmed Alaaj, also known as Amine Choukri — the other man wounded in a raid Friday in the Brussels’ suburb of Molenbeek — faces the same charges.
Of the three others detained in the operation, one faces charges of participating in a terror group’s activities and hiding criminals, and another with hiding criminals. The third was freed without being charged.
