The only survivor of the group behind the November 2015 Paris attacks has been found guilty of terrorism and murder charges.

Salah Abdeslam was seen as a key suspect and participant in the gun and bomb attacks that killed 130 people.

There were guilty verdicts for all but one of the 20 men put on trial for their involvement.

Sentences will be announced later - prosecutors had requested Abdeslam receive a rare full-life prison term.

The trial is the biggest in modern French history and began last September.
