The only surviving suspect in the Paris terror attacks has reportedly been rushed to hospital with suspected appendicitis.

Salah Abdeslam, 28, is said to have been taken from solitary confinement at Fleury-Merogis in Paris to a nearby hospital in “extreme pain”.

Abdeslam is a suspect in the Paris terror attacks in November 2015, which left 130 dead. He is currently awaiting trial in Paris.

A source told Mail Online: “Early indications are that he is suffering from appendicitis and is in extreme pain.

“The prisoner was being kept in isolation in the prison wing of the hospital, but it was decided that specialist treatment was needed, suggesting that surgery may be necessary.”

Abdeslam is said to have been rushed to hospital on Tuesday, where he stayed under armed guard before being returned to Fleury-Mergolis some time on Wednesday.

He is said to have been part of an Islamic State death squad that launched attacks across Paris including the Stade de France and the Bataclan and included his brother Brahim.

All blew themselves up or were shot dead by police, but Abdeslam abandoned his mission and went on the run.

Earlier this year, the 28-year-old was handed a 20-year prison sentence in Belgium for taking part in a shoot-out with police in Brussels in 2016.
