Paris suspect 鈥榓 global terrorist鈥

THE United States yesterday designated a leading suspect in last year’s attacks on Paris, Salah Abdeslam, as a “global terrorist” under US law.

The order, announced by the State Department, freezes any assets he holds in US jurisdictions and forbids Americans doing business with him.

“Belgian-born French citizen Salah Abdeslam is an operative for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant,” it said, using a former name of the Islamic State group.

The 26-year-old was arrested on March 18 in a police raid in Brussels and is due to be extradited to France. He is accused of being the sole surviving member of a gang that launched a series of attacks in Paris on November 13 last year that left 130 dead.
