Breaking: Terrorist Who Planned Paris Attacks Is Dead, Says French Prosecutor

The terrorist believed to have engineered the attacks on Paris last Friday is dead.

Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the man who is believed to have planned the terror attacks in Paris on Friday that left at least 129 dead and hundreds physically injured, is dead. The Paris Prosecutor confirmed minutes ago Abaaoud was killed in a raid on a Saint-Denis suburb apartment building yesterday.

The Washington Post had reported the “massive police raid” yesterday killed him “during a blitz-style sweep, two senior European intelligence officials said, after investigators followed leads that the fugitive militant was holed up north of the French capital and could be plotting another wave of violence.”

“More than 100 police and soldiers stormed the building during a seven-hour siege that left two dead including the suspected overseer of the Paris bloodshed, Abdelhamid Abaaoud.”
