Paris suspect Abdeslam charged over Brussels shootout

BRUSSELS: Key Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam has been charged over a deadly shootout with police in Brussels a week before the suicide blasts in the Belgian capital, his lawyer said on Wednesday.

"He has been charged with attempted murder either alone or jointly," lawyer Sven Mary told AFP when asked about Abdeslam, who is due to be extradited to France in coming days.
