PARIS, Nov 19 (Reuters) - It is unclear at this stage if the suspected mastermind of the Paris attacks, who was found dead after a police raid, blew himself up or not, the Paris prosecutor's office said on Thursday.

So it’s unclear still. I can’t make sense of all these conflicting reports.
Pieces and more pieces. No virgins for him
Buh-bye sumbitch, give my regards to Satan.

The confusion was because there were only body parts. They didn’t even know how many died.
It was suggested the gather up the feet/legs and divide by two

BBC live updates:
Abaaoud identification ‘a breakthrough’
BBC Paris Correspondent Hugh Schofield writes:
The news is a breakthrough, because Abaaoud is regarded as an individual of great importance in so-called Islamic State - a man responsible for organising not just Friday’s attacks, but also others such as the Thalys train attack two months ago. He is believed to have been a close friend of Salah Abdeslam, the eighth gunman who is still on the run. However identifying Abaaoud also raised serious questions. The man was high on French and Belgian wanted lists, and yet managed to travel from Syria to the heart of Paris without ever leaving a trace.
First thought: Was he cross dressings?
If they really got him, Obama will be wearing black today.
Was this the guy they like to call a “mastermind”? Come ON!...
Albert Einstein was the mastermind of the General Theory of Relativity, General Eisenhower was the American mastermind of Operation Overlord, Werner von Braun was a mastermind of the Mercury/Gemini/Apollo U.S. space programs, Bo Schembechler was the mastermind of the Michigan Wolverines football team, Meadowlark Lemon was the mastermind of the Harlem Globetrotters and Donald Fagen/Walter Becker are the masterminds of Steely Dan...
So let’s not get carried away by referring to any of the ISIS assholes as being the masterminds of anything.
The key info out of this raid was a BLONDE WOMAN blew herself up for ISIS.
How difficult will they be to track if they are recruiting locals to their cause?
The Helen Thomas model was in big demand because of the remarkable resemblance to a used goat butt.

I’m so glad that he died over there and Barack Obama didn’t get any claims on the body.
Our pro-Islamist president would’ve seen that he got a taxpayer funded respectful muslim funeral as the “I tell ya’ he doesn’t follow REAL Islam” Osama Bin Laden did.
Pour some bacon grease on Abaaoud’s remains.
Posing with two fingers up to the camera, this is Europe's first female suicide bomber whose head flew through a window and landed on the street when she blew herself up during the Saint-Denis siege.
Hasna Ait Boulahacen screamed, ‘help me, help me!’, before detonating her suicide vest packed full of explosives as French anti-terror police moved in on the terrorists’ hiding place.
Her head and spine flew through a window before a ferocious gun battle in Saint Denis where the mastermind of the Paris bombings, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, was killed.
Witnesses said she went to a nearby KFC restaurant to buy some food and looked ‘relaxed’ just hours before the blast.
Now MailOnline can reveal Ait Boulahacen, 26, Abaaoud’s cousin, was an ‘extrovert’ who drank alcohol and was nicknamed ‘the cowgirl’ due to her love of wearing big cowboy hats.
You're right. I liked Trump pointing out the media's error in calling "low life scum" something that glamorizes them.
BBC reporting he’s dead.
I had a feeling that most of those 5,000 bullets went into his body.
