Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam set for France extradition

It comes just hours after it was revealed he was prepared to turn "supergrass against ISIS".

He is suspected of being the logistics chief behind the attacks on the French capital, that left 130 dead, and his cooperation could help uncover secrets about European terror plots.

His lawyer Cedric Moisse said: "Salah Abdeslam wishes to be transferred to the French authorities.

"He wishes to cooperate with the French authorities."

Prosecutors said France and Belgium would now discuss on how to proceed with the transfer.

The terror suspect has previously told investigators he had intended to blow himself up at the Stade de France stadium in Paris but backed out at the last minute.

Abdeslam was arrested earlier this month in a huge Brussels raid.

But he has reportedly remained silent after suicide bombings in the Belgian capital killed 35 people.
