Belgium handed over terror suspect Salah Abdeslam to France for trial over the November multi-site attacks in Paris that killed 130 people.

“Abdeslam has been surrendered to the French authorities this morning,” the Belgian federal prosecutor said in a statement. French prosecutors said he was served with a European warrant upon arrival in France at 9:05 a.m. on Wednesday.
