Lawyer: Paris attacks suspect opposed to transfer to France

The lawyer for the Paris attacks’ main suspect says his client will oppose being transferred to France. Salah Abdeslam’s lawyer says he's been formally charged with terrorist murder and being part of a terrorist group by Belgian authorities in connection with last November's massacre. Earlier, French President Francois Hollande said that his country will seek Abdeslam's extradition. Hollande said he believed that Belgium would respond as quickly and efficiently as possible in this regard. Abdeslam was arrested yesterday in a police operation in the Molenbeek district of Brussels. He was wounded in the leg during the raid. 130 people were killed in the November terror attacks in the French capital.
