The sole surviving suspect from the 2015 Paris terror attacks has gone on trial at a Belgian court over the gun fight that led to his arrest, according to BBC. 

Salah Abdeslam was captured in Brussels four months after the attacks.

The charges he faces are not related to events in Paris but to a shootout with police while on the run in Belgium.

Salah Abdeslam, believed to be the sole survivor among a group of Islamist militants who killed 130 people in Paris in November, was extradited to France from Belgium on April 27. 

The prime surviving suspect for the Nov. 13, 2015 Paris attacks planned to blow himself up at a sports stadium with fellow Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) militants but changed his mind, he told Belgian investigators on March 19. 

EU ministers agreed Nov. 20 to get tough on border security after the devastating Paris attacks, as prosecutors said a third body had been found following a police raid on the ringleader's hideout.
