[quote]Salah Abdeslam, the suspected logistics chief in the Nov. 13 terror attacks, was flown from a Belgian prison to France on Wednesday in a stealthy operation that illustrates persistent security fears over the reach of his alleged terror network.
Mr. Abdeslam, a 26-year-old Frenchman of Moroccan descent, was due to appear before a judge in central Paris who will decide whether to press preliminary charges against him stemming from his suspected involvement in the Paris massacre that killed 130 people, according to a statement from the Paris prosecutors’ office. Authorities said Mr. Abdeslam will then be transferred to a maximum-security prison on the outskirts of Paris.
The timing of the transfer blindsided Mr. Abdeslam’s lawyer, Frank Berton, who said he had expected authorities to relocate his client to France in the coming days or weeks.
“I’m very surprised he’s already here today,” Mr. Berton told reporters. Mr. Berton said his client is ready to talk to French authorities, adding: “He won’t remain silent.”[/quote]
