Last surviving Paris attacker captured after being shot in the leg

BRUSSELS: Anti-terror police here have arrested 26-year-old Salah Abdul Salam, the ‘world’s most-wanted fugitive’.

He is accused of being an ISIS jihadi, and of helping kill some 130 people in Paris attacks.

Belgian federal prosecutors while talking to the Media earlier told that they found Salam’s fingerprints during a raid earlier.

Abdul Salam, who was on the run, apparently got rid of his suicide vest and escaped the scene of 13th November carnage. Police is now after the second fugitive Mohammad Abrini.

President Obama commenting on the arrest said that USA and France stood united in the fight against terrorism.
