Authorities say they don't know whether the man they say was behind last week's terror attacks in Paris was killed by police or killed himself. Abdelhamid Abaaoud was confirmed killed in Wednesday's police raid at an apartment building in the northern Paris suburb of Saint-Denis. Regardless of how Abaaoud died, Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said, "The target was achieved."
TODAY'S DEVELOPMENTS:
The suicide-vest-clad woman who killed herself during Wednesday's raid in Saint-Denis was identified by official sources in France as Hasna Ait Boulahcen.
Belgian authorities detained nine people in a series of raids. And in Aulnay-sous-Bois, just northeast of Paris, police searched the home of the mother of the woman who blew herself up in the Saint-Denis raid, the Paris prosecutor's office said.
A jihadist arrested in August told French investigators that he was trained by Abaaoud, who gave him a "mission" to carry out a violent attack in France or another European country, Cazeneuve said.
Expressing outrage at ISIS' perversion of his religion, Dalil Boubakeur, the chairman of the Grand Mosque of Paris, said, "It is absolutely necessary" to send troops against the group's stronghold in Syria.
