Terrorist Ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud Killed In Raid

At Hot Air, quoting the Washington Post.

A massive police raid Wednesdays killed the suspected ringleader of the Paris attacks during a blitz-style sweep, two senior European intelligence officials said, after investigators followed leads that the fugitive militant was holed up north of the French capital and could be plotting another wave of violence.

More than 100 police and soldiers stormed the building during a seven-hour siege that left two dead including the suspected overseer of the Paris bloodshed, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, who had once boasted he could slip easily between Europe and the Islamic State strongholds in Syria.

Hm. Maybe I have to pull that back again.



The cell was in preparations to launch a new attack in the neighborhood called La Defense, in the west of the city.


I think I heard them say that attack was planned for just this Friday.
