Paris terror attacks suspect Salah Abdeslamwas captured alive Friday, a Belgian counter-terrorism source told CNN.
Belgium's state broadcaster reported that the Belgian-born French citizen was injured in a shootout that ended with his capture. The Belgian counter-terrorism source said two people were wounded.
"We have him," tweeted Theo Francken, Belgium's state secretary for asylum policy and migration.
After the news broke, many others joined in with laudatory messages, including Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris, where Abdeslam allegedly took part in the carnage that left 130 dead.
"Congratulations to the police on the arrest of Salah Abdeslam," Hidalgo tweeted.
