Salah Abdeslam, a key suspect in November's Paris attacks, has been formally charged with involvement in terrorist murder along with a second man detained with him, Belgian prosecutors say.

The second man was identified as Monir Ahmed Alaaj alias Amine Choukri - both names that investigators have said appear on fake documents.

A third man detained on Friday in the same house, named as Abid A., was charged with being a member of a terrorist organisation and aiding and abetting criminals.

A woman detainee, Djemila M., was charged with aiding and abetting but released, the prosecutors said in a statement on Saturday. A second woman was released without charge.
