Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam changes his mind---- will not fight extradition to France

Sven Mary, the lawyer of Salah Abdeslam, has said that he wants to go to France as quickly as possible, as he wants to “explain himself”.

Salah Abdeslam is one of the key suspects in November's Paris attacks which left 130 people dead.
He was arrested and wounded in a police raid on Friday in Brussels.

On Tuesday, suicide bombs in Brussels killed 31 people. The attacks are thought to be linked to the Paris attacks network and Abdeslam's arrest.

Abdeslam "wishes to leave for France as quickly as possible" so he could "explain himself in France", his lawyer, Sven Mary, told French media.

Mr Mary had previously said Abdeslam, a 26-year-old French national born in Belgium, intended to fight extradition to France, but was co-operating with police.
