Two suspects linked to last year’s Paris attacks are the subjects of an intensive manhunt after an hours-long raid of an apartment near Brussels on Tuesday afternoon.
French officials have confirmed that Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the Belgian extremist suspected masterminding Friday’s terror attacks in Paris, was killed when authorities raided the Belgian terror cell’s hideout in the Paris suburb of St. Denis.
Two senior European intelligence officials said that the mastermind of the deadly Paris terror attacks last week, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, was killed during massive pre-dawn raids in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis on Wednesday, the Washington Post reported.
Belgian resident Abdelhamid Abaaoud is one of the men suspected to be the mastermind of Paris terror attacks. At least one of the attackers was linked to Abaaoud, who is thought to have supervised and funded the massacre.
