BRUSSEL - Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam has reportedly been shot and wounded during an anti-teror raid in Brussels.
Earlier today, Belgian federal prosecutors confirmed they found Abdeslam's fingerprints in a Brussels raid on Tuesday.
RTBF, Belgium's public broadcaster, reported Abdeslam may have been one of the men who fled the raid on Tuesday but officials would not confirm whether he was present.
It was not thought to have been the first time Abdeslam had evaded police.
Surveillance footage at a petrol station showed him returning by car to Belgium a day after the attacks.
He also avoided capture when French police checked his papers shortly before he was listed as wanted. Authorities have been searching for him ever since.
Abdeslam is suspected of helping to equip the gunmen and suicide bombers who targeted bars, restaurants and a music hall in Paris and may have taken part himself
Abdeslam went on the run after appearing to have removed his suicide vest and fled the Paris attacks on 13 November which left 130 dead.
