Captured Paris attacks suspect 'wanted to blow himself up' at stadium

Captured fugitive Salah Abdeslam initially planned to blow himself up outside the Stade de France during the Paris attacks but changed his mind, a prosecutor said on Saturday, after Europe's most wanted man was charged with "terrorist murder" for his role in the November assaults.

Abdeslam, who was caught in the Molenbeek neighborhood after being shot in the leg in a dramatic police raid on Friday, was also charged in Brussels with participating in a terrorist group. He was then taken to a maximum-security prison in the northwestern tourist city of Bruges.

Abdeslam, 26, is cooperating with the authorities but he will fight his extradition to France, his lawyer Sven Mary said.
