Moments ago, French prosecutor Francois Molins gave an update regarding the early morning raid in the Paris suburb of St-Denis that resulted in two deaths and the arrest of seven suspects. The target: the alleged mastermind of the Paris attacks, Abdelhamid Abaaoud.
French authorities reportedly had Abaaoud's cousin under surveillance and suspected she was hiding him an apartment about two kilometers from the Stade de France. Here is an eyewitness account of how she died:

A source close to the investigation source said the attack was being prepared for Thursday in the district that is home to some of France's biggest companies such as the oil major Total and the main trading room of Societe Generale bank.
Several police sources said the targets were the Quatre Temps shopping centre and the main square of the district of high-rise office buildings on the western edge of Paris.
"The police forces were looking for terrorists who were preparing another attack on the basis of information from the (local) counter-terrorism services and overseas," said the source close to the investigation.
"This new team was planning an attack on La Defense," the source said.
Here’s a funny picture with of one of the jihadist perp walked away with his ass showing. Can he still get his 72 blow-up dolls?

The jihadists holed up in a Paris suburb apartment had been planning to attack Charles de Gaulle Airport and a shopping mall before a special forces team stopped them in the nick of time in a predawn raid Wednesday, French media reported.

“French authorities said the terrorists in Saint-Denis comprised a fourth team of jihadists hell-bent on unleashing death and terror â in addition to the three teams that killed 129 people and injured 350 others in Paris on Friday, France TV reported.”
It blowed up real gud.
“
During a ten or fifteen minute lull in the shooting I heard a woman shouting: âHelp, help, help me!â The police asked her to identify herself and to show herself. She showed her hands but she didnât reveal her face.
She withdrew them and then put them up again several times. They shouted at her: âKeep your hands in the air!â
They told her: âWeâre going to shoot.â
The shooting resumed. The police were firing from the roof of the building opposite. Suddenly there was an enormous explosion [from the window, inside the flat]. It was probably the woman who blew herself up.
The windows shattered. Lots of objects from the apartment were thrown into the street, pieces of human flesh as well. They are still there. You can see a bit of the head, of skin, of ribs.”
the police fired something like 5000 rds of ammo
Yawn...
One of the shots could have set off her explosives.
Just sayin’.
Interesting. France takes out the leader in less than a week, USA takes 10 years to execute Bin Laden. In sum, Bush and Obama dither while NYC burns. Viva la France!
We need to be doing these raids here. States and cities don’t need O’s permission.
Agree. There are rumors of training compounds in a number of states that need “investigating”.
“Terrorists Planned Thursday Attack On Paris Mall”
I’ve always said if they want to wreak havoc in the United States, just hit a few shopping malls on Black Friday. I’m truly surprised it hasn’t happened here yet.
Ping to slaughterhouse in gay Paree!
Bits and pieces of them on the footpath...I like it.
My theory is that they wired her up and detonated her remotely. That’s why she was yelling for help.
