French magistrates are investigating the ex-girlfriend of Salah Abdeslam, a man convicted for the deadly 13 November 2015 Paris attacks, prosecutors said. But the national anti-terror prosecutor's office said Abdeslam himself was not involved in any new plot.

The probe comes as France prepares to mark the 10th anniversary of the attacks in and around Paris that killed 130 people and wounded hundreds more in 2015, claimed by the Islamic State armed group.
