Paris: The main suspect in the jihadist attacks on Paris in November, Salah Abdeslam, was arrested in a raid in Brussels on Friday, French police sources said.

It was not immediately clear if Abdeslam, who has been on the run since the November 13 attacks that killed 130 people, was injured in the raid in Brussels' Molenbeek district.
