Paristerroristen Salah Abdeslam ställs inför rätta

Salah Abdeslam (French pronunciation: ​[sala abdɛslam]; born 15 September 1989) is a Belgium-born French national of Moroccan descent. He has been accused of involvement in the attacks in Paris on 13 November 2015 (in which 130 people were killed and 368 others were injured) through providing logistical support for the assailants, driving them to their target locations, and having some involvement in the manufacture of the explosives used. Having evaded authorities, he became the target of one of the largest manhunts in modern European history. Europol had Abdeslam as first in a list of wanted criminals out of 57 individuals listed publicly by the organisation in January 2016. Abdeslam is known to have had contacts or social links to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), as ISIL subsequently made a claim of responsibility for the attack. Of the men known to be involved in the attacks, he and Mohammad Abrini are the only two still alive - all others involved either having killed themselves or having been killed by French police officers. After about four months on the run, Abdeslam was apprehended during a police raid conducted in the Molenbeek area of Brussels, on 18 March 2016. On 21 April, he was charged in Brussels with attempted murder in relation to a shootout that occurred during another police raid three days before his arrest, and on 27 April, he was extradited to France to face further charges, some terrorism related.
