The Moroccan suspect in a foiled attack on a high-speed train was hit Wednesday with terrorism charges after prosecutors argued he planned to unleash carnage among hundreds travelling from Belgium to France.

The prosecutor's office in Paris confirmed that Ayoub El-Khazzani had been formally charged overnight.

As CBS News correspondent Charlie D'Agata reports, el-Khazzani, 26, was led barefoot and blindfolded into the French court to face the charges, including multiple counts of attempted murder, possession of weapons, and conspiracy.
