One of the chief suspects from November's Paris terror attacks, Salah Abdeslam, has been extradited from Belgium to France. He was arrested in Brussels on March 18th after four months on the run.

He was Europe's most wanted man - and just over a month after being caught in Brussels - Salah Abdeslam has been transferred from a prison in the Belgium city of Bruges to France to face terror charges.

He had stopped cooperating with Belgian investigators but his lawyer has said he will talk to the French.

"He is here. He was expected to attend a hearing in Belgium tomorrow, so I am pretty surprised that he has arrived today. We will see in terms of procedure what has been achieved so far," Abdeslam's French lawyer Frank Berton said.

Salah Abdelam a Belgian citizen fled back home to Brussels after the Paris attacks - a series of bomb and gun assaults which left 130 people dead in the French capital last November.

While Salah Abdeslam is being charged in France, here in Brussels the Belgian federal prosecutors office is continuing its investigations into the Brussels attacks which are believed to have been perpetrated by the same terror cell as the Paris attacks.

Investigators say the group which bombed the metro and the airport in Brussels brought their attack forward after Abdeslam's arrest.

Some security experts don't believe that Abdeslam will open up as much as hoped.

"I don't think that Salah Abdeslam at the present moment would reveal any significant information, important information, for an investigation. At the same time there is a purely symbolic meaning of this extradition because for sure it will be very important for the family members of the victims of the Paris attacks," Evgenia Gvozdeva with The European Strategic Intel & Security Center, said.

Whether he sheds light on the attacks or not, it is likely we're going to learn more about Abdeslam himself - the man's Belgian lawyer is quoted as saying his client has the intellect of an ashtray.
