november's terror attacks in paris has been taken alive. 130 people died in that awful night last november when isis terrorists massacred concert--goers and patrons at a restaurant. all but one of the attackers were killed within days as the last slipped across the border into belgium, and it was there in a dramatic police raid today that elusive suspect was shot and wounded and taken into custody. nbc's keir simmons has late details from brussels. >> reporter: gunfire on a sidewalk special forces aim at a suspect. they drag him to a police car. he's falled and then bundled into the back and a crowded street close by people flee as more gunfire erupts, and live on belgian television an explosion. the dramatic police raids capturing europe's most wanted terrorist, 26-year-old

run since the paris massacre which killed 130 people. tonight president obama called to congratulate belgium's prime minister who appeared with the french president announcing the news. abdeslam, one of ten isis members identified by investigators as taking part in the paris attacks, all now either died carrying them out, were killed or captured. he had been on the run from police for four months. the morning after the attacks he's seen on surveillance video in northern france at a gas station. he caught aide with friends and then making it through a border checkpoin and into belgium. the manhunt accelerating when his suspected suicide vest was found abandoned in paris later that month. twice since, once in december and again tuesday, prosecutors said his fingerprints had been found in raids in brussels, and the key breakthrough

neighborhood of molembique. a suspect is shot dead after abdeslam was thought to have slipped away but tonight police closed in hon him. the top terror suspect who was able to avoid capture fororo long, even in a major european capital, now oviding investigators with an intelligence gold mine. >> this case is all about intelligence, the ability to look and see ifhere are other pending attacks or those that are in place right now. additionally they will be looking at other co-conspirators co-conspirators, other members of the organization. abdeslam was found in this neighborhood just streets from his childhood home. meanwhile tonight the french president saying there were many more people involved in the paris attacks than was first thought. lester? >> keir simmons tonight in belgium, thanks. our chief foreign correspondenen richard engel has covered this manhunt from paris to richard, what do you >> reporter: left, i think the most revealing aspect of all of this is

why did he go back to his home neighborhood, and i think it reveals how isolated he was. you see, from isis' perspective abdeslam was a failure. the other attackers all died in the attack, and if you're an isis suide commando the group does not expect you to suive. he couldn't go to syria now having failed in this attack. he couldn't slip away back into isis-held territory, so he went back home where he still had a network of friends and supporters who were able to shelter him. perhaps the belgian authorities should have been looking in the most obvious place all along. lester? >> and the question, of course, what can he tell authorities? richard, thank you. let's turn now to a late-break political development here at home. just two weeks after his scathing public dressing down of donald trump, mitt romney has announced he'll vote for ted cruz in next week's utah primary. the 2012 republican nominee is not calling ittan endorsement, but he's being quite open about his motivation. hallie jackson is

tell us more about this, h ha llie. >> reporter: sure, lester. this move by mitt romney is like a bat signal to the rest of the establishment to get on board behind ted cruz who is campaigning on thehe border in arizona today, but utah were romney's influence coulul make the most difference. they have modelled their path to the nomination on not just winning utah but winning big to scoop up every delegate and cut into donald trump's lead but don't call this an endorse president. mitt romney isn't. instead he says conservaves should unite behind cruz to force an open convention and that tells us two things, first, that the establishment hasn't fully settled necessarily on who it's for, although it knows who it's against and, second, how serious party leaders are that a contested convention is the most plausible way to stop trump. >> listen, in my book when someone says i'm voting for you andnd i encourage everyone else to vote for you, that's pretty darn

that and take that happily. >> reporter: all of this a blow to john kasich, lester, with romney calling a vote for him a vote for trumpism. >> all right. hallie jackson tonight, thanks. we're going to get reaction to this from the trump campaign. nbc's katy tur has that for us. katy, what are you hearing. >> reporter: hey there, lester, donald trump is responding in typical donald trump fashion tweeting that mitt romney is a failed presidential candidate, a mixed-up man who choked in 2012. now, although romney's support could help ted cruz in iowa, it is important to note that this is a very conservative state, much likeiowa, much like oklahoma. both of which ted cruz won and donald trump lost. still, trump is campaigning there, even amid news and some serious security concernsor him and his family. >> reporter: security around donald trum tightening as new threats target the gop front-runner and his family.

assets, this says to me that this is a grave threat. >> reporter: trump is back on the trail in utah and so are the protesters preparing to disrupt the candidate in salt lake tonight and arizona tomorrow. katy tur, nbc news, new york. >> just in time for the start of spring, a big snow storm is barreling across the country from the rockies to the mid-atlantic and all the way up to new england, but how much impact it's said to have depends on which super powerful computer is right. for years the u.s. has lagged behind in the technology to keep up with european forecasters, b as al roker reports, this season that's about to change. >> here's the storm time line. we're going to see the snow mixing with some rain sunday morning >> reporter: east coast bracing for a potentiaia nor'easter this weekend. >> we're definitely getting snow on sunday into monday. >> reporter: forecast from d.c. to boston, snow, on the first day of spring, but just how much? that's the million dollar question, why? the models.

>> you need the world's fastest computers because we are talking are very complex formulation of the atmosphere and we're lag significantly in the computing power. >> reporter: now, lester, they are catching up, and this storm may be one where we see parity has been gained. you look at what's going on. the american model and the european model, the european mod sell coming closer to what the american model originally showed. on saturday rain and snow in d.c. and philadelphia, and heavier snow as you get into the appalachians. as we get into suny evening, snow increasing from new york city to new enand, heaviest sunday night, and then by monday it's just about over. a lot of strong wind and much cold ker and the snow ends by afternoon and look at the difference in terms of accumulation. european 2 purchases from new york city and bostononhe heaviest and the american model much less and it seems like the european model with each run is coming closer to what the american model ys. >> and we don't get a vote. >> exactly. >> happy spring, by the way. >> you bet.

years, and they do need to get to the bottom of this to correct these problems which do compromise the security. >> it's the third scandal in nine years involving the u.s. nuclear commission. nine nuclear weapons officers were fired in a cheat willing scandal at mal strom air force base in montana monand four commanders were ousted after the air force lost track of six neapons at minot air base in north dakota. this time they launched a quick investigation in order to erase one more black mark on their nuclear mission. lesterer >> thank you. bail has been revoked for a formrm prep school student when he was convicted of mimiemeanor sexual assault against a fellow student. a judge said owen labrie repeatedly violated the court-imposed curfew@ and sent him straight to jail to begin
