The world's most wanted man, a prime suspect in the Paris terrorist attacks, has been wounded and captured in a police raid in Brussels.

Salah Abdeslam was shot in the leg by police commandos and has been arrested in the district of Molenbeek in the Belgian capital.


Belgian prosecutors said earlier today that his fingerprints were found at the scene of a separate police raid on a Brussels flat, which took place on Tuesday.

The 26-year-old, whose brother blew himself up during the slaughter in Paris in November, was said to be one of the suspects who went on the run after a shoot-out.


He has now been wounded and captured in a fresh raid conducted by police this afternoon.


It is understood grenades were used in the operation, which unfolded at about 4.30pm.


Gun shots and explosions were heard while white smoke was seen in the area as police moved in on Abdeslam, who had been on the run for 126 days.


Emergency services were quick to arrive at the scene, which was closed off by officers wearing heavy riot gear.


A Belgium police source confirmed that he had been ‘caught alive’.


Abdeslam was wounded, and then retreated into a house in Molenbeek with two men. At least one of the other men is wounded, and one may be dead, said the source.


It is thought that he suffered a 'flesh wound' after escaping the raid before retreating to Molenbeek, where he was born and brought up and being shot by officers this afternoon. He has been taken to hospital.

Raid: Abdeslam has now been wounded and captured in a fresh raid conducted by police this afternoon

Francois Hollande, who is in Brussels for the EU summit, confirmed that today's police operation was linked to last November's attacks on Paris.
Salah's brother Brahim, who died in the November Paris attacks which left 130 people dead, was buried Thursday in a Brussels cemetery.
Referring to the police operation earlier this week, in which one Islamic gunman was shot dead by a police sniper, Belgian public broadcaster RTBF had said this morning: 'According to our information, it is more than likely that he is one of the two individuals who escaped during the shootout.'
It was not the first time Abdeslam had evaded police.
It is believed he stayed in Schaerbeek, Belgium, for some weeks following the attacks in the French capital before being tracked down by police today.


Eric Van der Sypt said the fugitive may have been at the property for 'days, weeks or months'.
Surveillance footage at a petrol station showed him returning by car to Belgium a day after the Paris attacks.
He also avoided capture when French police checked his papers shortly before he was listed as wanted. Authorities have been searching for him ever since.
Abdeslam was thought to have been the logistic coordinator who rented cars and equipped the gunmen and suicide bombers who targeted bars, restaurants and a music hall in Paris and may have taken part himself.
Last month a source close to the French inquiry said no DNA from Abdeslam had been found on a suicide belt discovered in the French capital.
The explosive belt was found in a dustbin in the southern Parisian suburb of Montrouge on November 23.
Telephone data placed Abdeslam in the same area just after the attacks - but the lack of DNA on the belt suggested that he had not worn it.

Since mid-November, 11 people have been arrested and charged in Belgium in connection with the killings, with eight remaining in custody.
Abdeslam - one of the most wanted men in Europe - and his associate Mohamed Abrini, both from the Molenbeek area of Brussels, are still at large.
Meanwhile, it was revealed today that an Algerian killed during the anti-terror raid in Brussels earlier this week is on a list of ISIS fighters leaked last week.
The 35-year-old Algerian identified as Mohamed Belkaid, who was living illegally in Belgium, had volunteered to commit a suicide bomb attack, according to the Dutch speaking TV channel VRT.
Contacted by AFP, Belgium's federal prosecutor declined to comment on the report.
The Sky News channel last week claimed to have obtained documents containing the names of 22,000 members of ISIS.
According to the VRT report, Belkaid fought in Syria from April 19, 2014 alongside the ISIS jihadists. He went by the nom de guerre Abou Abdel Aziz al-Jazayri (the Algerian).
After his return from Syria, he is believed to have passed through Sweden, the TV channel added.
Belkaid was killed by a police sniper while trying to shoot at police during a chaotic gun battle on Tuesday in the quiet Forest district in southern Brussels.
Next to his body were found an IS flag, a Kalashnikov and a book on Salafism, an extreme form of Islam, investigators said.
Belkaid had been unknown to Belgian authorities except for a case of minor theft in 2014, authorities said.
How Salah Abdeslam became the world's most wanted man after Paris massacre - but escaped the clutches of police three time
Salah Abdeslam became the world's most wanted man after the Paris attacks in November last year.
The 26-year-old is a Belgian-born Morocco-Frenchman and grew up in the Belgian town of Molenbeek.
He worked for two years as a railway mechanic and in the family business including at a bar set up by his brother Brahim.
Abeslam was reportedly childhood friends with Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the man dubbed as the 'Belgian' mastermind of the Paris attacks.
The pair spent time in jail for armed robbery and it is there that it is believed they became radicalised.

When his brother Brahim tried to travel to Syria, he was stopped and Abdeslam was questioned by police.
Belgian prosecutors later admitted they knew he had been radicalised but didn't flag them up as a security threat to France.
For his part in the attacks on Paris, which killed 130, Abdeslam is thought to have rented the cars, the attackers used to drive to the various locations to gun people down.
He was described as being the logistics manager and also organised hotels, flats and ammunition.
On the night if the attacks, he was caught on CCTV outside a cafe that was targeted.
His brother Brahim blew himself up outside the Comptoir Voltaire brasserie in the 11th arrondissement

Later, officers pulled over Abdelsam on Saturday morning on the A2 motorway between Paris and Brussels but checked his ID and let him go.
He was travelling with two other people, just hours after he abandoned a car containing three Kalashnikov AK-47 assault rifles on the outskirts of the French capital.
Detectives soon realised their blunder when they discovered that Abdeslam had rented VW Polo abandoned near the scene of the massacre inside the Bataclan theatre.
However, by the time they alerted Belgian authorities the terror suspect had abandoned the car in Molenbeek, Brussels, an area known as the 'jihadi capital of Europe' and disappeared.
An international manhunt was launched.
In the days after the attacks, Belgian security forces staged several raids in the Molenbeek district of Brussels, where he lived, which has served as a haven for several jihadists in recent decades.
But there was no sign of him and he remained on the run for over four months.
