A lawyer for the suspected mastermind of the Paris terror attacks says he's not fighting extradition to France.

Salah Abdeslam is appearing in court in Brussels today after his capture there last week.

His lawyer's told reporters his client had no knowledge of this week's Brussels bombings.

Sven Mary said his client Mr Abdeslam wants to talk to French investigators, and that's why he's dropped his objection to being extradited:

His lawyer has told reporters he now wants to return to his home country to explain himself as soon as possible.

EU justice ministers are meeting in Brussels this afternoon to discuss ways of improving legislation to tackle Europe's terror threats.

It comes after claims there were more bombers than originally thought involved in Tuesday's attacks in Brussels.

It is now thought up to three attackers may have targeted Brussels airport, with two more involved in the Metro explosion.

Meanwhile, a major manhunt is underway, after it emerged that two of the Brussels bombers could still be at large.
