Paris terrorist Salah Abdeslam (pictured) has agreed to turn supergrass for French police

The brother of Salah Abdeslam, the only surviving ISIS member of the Paris attackers, has claimed that his sibling refused to blow himself up at the Stade de France because he wanted to save lives.

Mohamed Abdeslam claims that his brother Salah, who was sensationally captured on 18 March, told him that he 'couldn't go through with it.'

An undetonated suicide belt, thought to have belonged to Abdeslam, was found dumped close to the Stade de France, where Bilal Hadfi and two unidentified Iraqi nationals, blew themselves up.

'There would have been more victims had I done it. Luckily, I couldn't go through with it,' Salah Abdeslam reportedly told his brother.

Captured in Molenbeek, Salah Abdeslam is thought to have started to co-operate with the authorities following the Brussels attacks.

The terror suspect is thought to have mainly served as a logistics operator, driving members of the cell over the border from eastern Europe.

His brother told a French broadcasting channel that Salah Abdeslam 'voluntarily chose not to blow himself up.'

In subsequent interviews, Salah Abdeslam has continually tried to blame the killing on other ISIS operatives, saying that he simply provided hire cars and other logistics.

There were fears before his capture that he may have tried to flee to Syria, while numerous false sightings of him were reported to authorities across Europe.

He may have been fearful of becoming a target himself in the ISIS heartland - having pulled out of his suicide mission.

Following his dramatic capture last month, in which Abdeslam was shot in the leg and bundled into a car in the Molenbeek neighbourhood of Brussels, the 26-year-old will now be extradited from Belgium to France.

'He wants to cooperate with the French authorities,' lawyer Cedric Moisse said, as a prosecutor was set to travel to the prison in the city of Bruges where Abdeslam has been held since March 18 for an extradition hearing, which was granted today.

Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders said that Abdeslam had also been planning to target Brussels.

Another of his lawyers, Sven Mary, said last week that Abdeslam did not have prior knowledge of the March 22 attacks in the Belgian capital.

Salah Abdeslam has been linked to at least two of the Brussels attack bombers.

Khalid El Bakraoui, who blew himself up at the metro, rented a flat in Brussels where Abdeslam's fingerprints were found following a raid.
