Paris Attack

The chief suspect and only survivor of the 10-member team of extremists, Salah Abdeslam, was found guilty of murder and attempted murder in relation with a terrorist enterprise, among other charges

Abdeslam faces up to life in prison without parole on murder and other counts, the toughest sentence possible under France's justice system

The prosecutor said the 18-year-old suspect, who was shot dead by police as he refused to surrender, was a refugee of Chechen origin and not previously known to the intelligence services

Since 2015, France has been struck by a wave of jihadist terror strikes that have claimed the lives of over 250 people

He has point-blank refused to speak to investigators since his arrest

The charges Abdeslam now faces are not related to events in Paris, but to a shootout he had with police while on the run in Belgium

Vehicle took off after the incident, which took place around 1130 IST

In 2016, Notre-Dame was the scene of a scare after a car full of gas canisters was found parked

Police warned people to stay away from the French landmark

Police earlier said they were dealing with an incident in courtyard

A policeman was murdered on the Champs-Elysees

The shooting comes three days before the French general elections

Abdeslam was transferred to France from Belgium in April, after a long manhunt following the carnage on November 13

More than an hour after that the Belgian authorities informed France that Abdeslam had jihadist links

Three of the accused helped prime suspect Salah Abdeslam flee

Police stopped tracking brothers Salah and Brahim Abdeslam nine months before the attacks because of a funding shortage

4 months on the run as Europe's most wanted man, he was shot in leg during raid following which he was captured
