After a four-month search for Europe's most-wanted fugitive, Paris terror attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam was captured Friday, Belgian officials said.
Abdeslam was wounded in a gun-battle with authorities in an anti-terror raid in the Brussels' suburb of Molenbeek. Four other people were arrested.
A man named Monir Ahmed Alaaj -- also known as Amine Choukri -- also was wounded and hospitalized, prosecutors said.
Belgian federal prosecutor's office spokesman Eric Van der Sypt said the others detained included three members of a family who helped hide Abdeslam.
Earlier, Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel told reporters that Abdeslam, a Belgian-born French citizen, and another person were wounded in the raid. Abdeslam had a minor leg wound, Van der Sypt announced.
French President Francois Hollande said Paris prosecutors will urgently request the extradition of Abdeslam. Hollande told reporters he is confident Abdeslam will be sent to France for trial.
"I know the Belgian authorities will respond quickly and favorably to our request for extradition," Hollande said.
Officials said as of Friday night no more suspects were in the building where the raid took place.
After the news broke, many others joined in with laudatory messages, including Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris, where Abdeslam allegedly took part in the carnage that left 130 dead.
"Congratulations to the police on the arrest of Salah Abdeslam," Hidalgo tweeted.
Lieve Reynebeau, who works on the street where Abdeslam was captured, said she heard loud noises and then looked out to see police all around the scene. She managed to leave the area like others -- "all of us safe" -- by foot.
Armed and heavily protected police, with helmets and shields, converged on the area. Three explosions were heard there later Friday, CNN French affiliate BFMTV reported, though it wasn't clear if those were controlled blasts or part of a continuing operation.
And gunshots rang out shortly after 7 p.m. in the same area.
Police continued to conduct operations in Molenbeek into Saturday morning.
