The lawyer to top Paris attacks fugitive Salah Abdeslam launched a furious legal fight Sunday to avoid extradition after Europe's most wanted fugitive spent his first night in a Belgian prison.

Abdeslam is held in a high security jail on charges of "terrorist murder" for his role in the November 13 gun and suicide attacks on the French capital, which killed 130 people.

Top Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam, Europe's most wanted man, was wounded and captured in a raid by armed police in Brussels on Friday after four months on the run.

Abdeslam, 26, who is believed to have played a key logistical role in the November 13 attacks claimed by the Islamic State group that left 130 people dead, sustained a leg injury in the raid, French police said.

Fresh links between the Paris attacks and a bloody anti-terrorism raid in Brussels emerged Thursday as a manhunt continued for two suspected extremists who escaped.

The firefight on Tuesday, in which an Algerian national with suspected ties to Islamic State was killed, erupted after Belgian and French police searched a property in connection with the November 13 Paris massacres, claimed by IS.

Belgian authorities have found three tons of cocaine in a container of bananas from Colombia at the port of Antwerp, customs officials said on Tuesday.

"The inquiry and search service of Customs and Excise has found 2,958 kilos of cocaine in a container containing bananas," the customs service said in a statement.

Belgium is considering extending its F-16 airstrikes against Islamic State jihadis in Iraq into Syria as part of stepped up efforts by the U.S.-led anti-IS coalition, Foreign Minister Didier Reynders said Wednesday.

"I think you cannot just limit your actions to Iraq without pursuing these actions across the border when these terrorist groups cross the border" into Syria, Reynders told Bel-RTL radio.

Is Philippe Moureaux, who led the downtrodden district of Molenbeek in Brussels for almost two decades, in part responsible as critics charge for the deadly attacks in Paris last November?

"Absolutely not," Moureaux tells AFP in an interview, saying instead that he had done his best to combat the rise of radical Islam.

Belgium on Tuesday said it had temporarily reintroduced border controls with France in order to halt the arrival of migrants from the Calais "Jungle" camp, in a new blow to the EU's passport-free travel area.

Interior minister Jan Jambon said most of the migrants currently in Calais, a port in northern France, eventually wanted to get to Britain and would use Belgium as a transit route.

Belgian police on Tuesday arrested ten people in the Brussels area who were allegedly part of a network recruiting people to fight with the Islamic State group in Syria, prosecutors said.

The ten were arrested during raids in several areas of the Belgian capital, including the Molenbeek quarter where several of the key suspects in the November Paris attacks lived.

A Belgian court on Thursday cited security concerns as it adjourned the appeal hearing of several people -- some linked to key figures in the Paris attacks -- against jail terms for recruiting fighters for Syria.

"We are adjourning the hearing until tomorrow because security measures are not satisfactory," judge Pierre Saint-Remy announced in court.

An appeals court in Belgium's northern port city of Antwerp upheld Wednesday a 12-year jail term and fine of 30,000 euros ($33,000) for the leader of an Islamist group that sent jihadists to Syria.

Fouad Belkacem, 33, the chief of the Sharia4Belgium group who is serving his sentence in Belgium, was convicted in Antwerp in February last year of radicalizing, recruiting and dispatching young men to wage holy war.
