The Belgian jihadi -- suspected of masterminding deadly Islamic State (IS) attacks in Paris on November 13 -- was killed in a police raid on a suburban apartment building yesterday, the Times of Israel website reports today (November 19, 2015).
Paris Prosecutor Francois Molins' office said Abdelhamid Abaaoud, 27, was identified based on skin samples. His body was found in the apartment building targeted in the chaotic and bloody police raid in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis yesterday.
Police launched the operation after receiving information from tapped phone calls, surveillance, and tipoffs suggesting that Abaaoud was holed up there.
Killed along with Abaaoud was a woman who blew herself up with an explosives vest at the beginning of the raid. Eight people in the apartment were arrested.
