Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam shot and arrested in Brussels

Salah Abdeslam, the main fugitive from Islamic extremist attacks in Paris in November, was arrested in Belgium's capital Friday after four months at large, two French police officials told The Associated Press.
They said he was arrested in a major police operation in the Brussels neighborhood of Molenbeek. Both officials are in contact with people involved in the operation and spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about an ongoing operation.
Theo Francken, Belgium's secretary of state for asylum and migration, tweeted, "We hebben hem," which translates to English, "We got him." Francken later removed the tweet after reports government officials were unhappy with him breaking the news.
The arrest would be a dramatic turn in the investigation that has vexed European officials for months.
Abdeslam fled Paris after the Nov. 13 gun and bomb attacks that killed 130 people at a theatre, the national stadium and cafes. Most of the Paris attackers died that night, including Abdeslam's brother Brahim, who blew himself up. The Islamic State terror group claimed responsibility for the attacks, in which Belgian nationals played key roles.

I’m betting he wishes he would be water-boarded.
I hope they amp up the electricity and fry his nuts! Make him tell it all.
Yet another example of the menacing Islamic Terrorism that Obama and Hillary say doesn’t exist.
How many must die before these idiots recognize the obvious??
Exactly what he deserves, he wouldn’t be able to give them info fast enough.
Honey, hebben me a beer please!
The piece of crap needs to become worm food.
They should check him into a 5* facility and politely ask him what he know about other plots/plotters.
Let’s eep all muslims out until we know what the hell is going on — D. Trump.
(But that would be against our 1st Amendment)
Apparently, our first amendment does not allow us to bar the enemy from our country.
Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam shot and arrested in Brussels
I need you to be focused!
It’s Belgium.
They will feed him chocolate and ask him if he is being offended by the pampering
Police said the 26-year-old was wounded in the leg in the operation, which took place as EU leaders met on the other side of the city to discuss Europe’s migration crisis.
Several exchanges of gunfire rang out in the Molenbeek area – the scene of past investigations into the Paris attacks – and police officers were seen surrounding an apartment block there.
There were unconfirmed reports that two people had been arrested and that a third suspect may have been involved.
The police operation in Molenbeek was launched just as Belgian prosecutors confirmed that Abdeslam’s fingerprints had been found at a flat that was raided in the Forest area of Brussels on Tuesday. Two suspects fled that raid.
Abdeslam, a 26-year-old French national who grew up in Brussels, fled Paris for Belgium by car hours after the 13 November attacks that killed 130 people.
Police believe he played a key role in the logistics of the Paris attacks and escorted the three suicide bombers who blew themselves up at the Stade de France as part of the coordinated assault.
Investigators are also considering whether he planned to carry out his own suicide attack in the 18th arrondissement of the French capital, and perhaps backed out. His brother blew himself up and died at a Paris bar on Boulevard Voltaire during the attacks.
LOL. Yes!
Congrats to the French and Belgian police.
Prayers for the 4 wounded officers.

"Is it safe?"
Subtlety in gaining needed intelligence.
Bring in some Russian interrogators. They’d make him squeal like a pig.
