BREAKING NEWS: Police gun battle at Paris apartment 'where ISIS mastermind was holed up' ends with his 'wife' blowing herself up with a suicide vest, one jihadi shot dead and seven arrested
The six-hour stand-off between French police and the Paris
terror cell ended as a bloodied and half-naked suspect (main picture and
top right) was dragged out of an apartment block through broken glass
in Saint-Denis - close to the Stade de France. The gunfight started at
4.30am when SWAT teams and special forces surrounded the building
believing the architect of the massacres that killed 129 people,
Abdelhamid Abaaoud, 27, was inside. It is not known if he is dead or
alive. A woman 'with long blonde hair' who may be Abaaoud's jihadi bride
is said to have fired her AK-47 at police before blowing herself up as
an assault squad first stormed the apartment block. As she tried to kill
police a rooftop sniper shot dead another terror suspect through a
window. Police said that five people in the apartment were taken alive
and arrested while two others were held 'nearby'. At least five police
were injured in the ferocious gunfight including one shot in the foot
seen being carried from the scene. The terrorists also gunned down a
seven-year-old sniffer dog called Diesel, sent into the block to look
for booby traps. Witnesses told MailOnline there were long periods of
intense machine gun fire and at least seven large explosions, caused by
the suicide bomber and possibly hand grenades. There were no hostages
involved.
