Salah Abdeslam tells police he 'wanted to blow himself up' at Paris 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 Saturday, after Europe's most wanted man was charged with "terrorist murder" for his role in the November assaults.
Abdeslam, who was caught 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 is cooperating with the authorities but he will fight his extradition to France, his lawyer Sven Mary (above) said.

Police were threatening to make arrests to break up the estimated 50 protesters - who held a banner across the width of Shea Boulevard with the words "Dump Trump" - as long lines of traffic backed up in Fountain Hills, on the outskirts of Phoenix.

Leicester City must keep calm and carry on, manager Claudio Ranieri said on Saturday after a 1-0 win at Crystal Palace put them eight points clear at the top of the Premier League with seven games to play.
"We have been working so well and so hard during the season, we have to carry on and to be calm and enjoy it and be focused as well," Ranieri told the BBC.
After the final whistle, Leicester fans, increasingly scenting a first top-flight title for their unheralded club, stayed in the stadium for 15 minutes singing: "We're going to win the league", until persuaded to leave by the announcer.

The 20-year-old rising star of the discipline fouled on five of her six jumps but registered 14.41m on her second attempt at the Oregon Convention Centre.
