Salah Abdeslam, the prime surviving suspect for theParis terrorist attacks was shot in the leg andcaptured during a police raid in Brussels, Belgium, onlast Friday, ending an intensive four-month manhunt.
He and four other suspects were detained in a raidin Molenbeek, including three members of a familywho allegedly sheltered him.
French President Francois Hollande said Paris prosecutors will urgently request the extraditionof Abdeslam.
The gun and bomb attacks on the stadium, bars and a concert hall in Paris on Nov 13 last yearkilled 130 people and marked the deadliest militant assault in Europe since 2004.
Abdeslam's lawyer Sven Mary told reporters his client was "cooperating with Belgian justice",adding that Abdeslam admitted being in Paris on November 13.
Mary added that the 26-year-old French national, who was born and raised in Brussels in aMoroccan immigrant family, would refuse the extradition demanded by French PresidentFrancois Hollande.
Legal experts said his challenge was unlikely to succeed, but it would buy him more time toprepare his eventual defence.
