Fugitive from Paris attacks wounded in Brussels shootout: media
The most-wanted fugitive from November's Paris attacks was wounded in a shootout in Brussels on Friday and still holed up at the scene, Belgian newspaper DH reported. Other media said a person had been wounded and possibly killed in the Brussels district of Molenbeek while television footage showed masked, black-clad security forces guarding a street in the capital.
A police spokeswoman said an operation was ongoing and could not give further details.
Belgian police had found finger prints belonging to Salah Abdeslam, a 26-year-old Frenchman from Brussels suspected of taking part in the Paris attacks on Nov. 13, during an earlier operation, prosecutors said.
The Belgian federal prosecutor's office also said an Algerian killed during that earlier operation at the apartment in Brussels on Tuesday was probably one of the people French and Belgian investigators were seeking in relation to the Islamic State attacks in Paris on Nov. 13.
