World's most wanted man, Salah Abdeslam, the Paris terrorist fugitive, has been reportedly arrested by Belgian Police in a raid on a safehouse in a suburb known as the 'jihadi capital of Europe'.
It was revealed that dozens of heavily-armed police raided a flat in Molenbeek, Brussels, as they hunted for the 26-year-old, one of three 'blood brothers' believed to be at the heart of French massacres where 129 people died last Friday.

Abdelsam has been the subject of a vast international manhunt but incredibly he was stopped and then released by French police guarding the Belgian border hours after the attacks.
The terror suspect, believed to be a getaway driver and potential shooter, went into hiding in Molenbeek, where the eight-strong ISIS terror cell may have met before the Paris raids to gather automatic weapons and suicide vests.
