[Koovie]

The raid was involved.
But these men are as badass as the GIGN !

"We sent these lunatics to Hell"

Heroes at work

 

[SarthakGanguly]

This means there is an ISIS territory in metropolitan France as well!!!

 

[Taygibay]

apologist that burqa ban should be lifted in order to save france.

It makes no sense! That move would then save a country that isn't France anymore?!?

Putin has it in his mind to milk Syrian Crisis more due to lack of proper incentives and concessions.

Actually, the attacks robbed him of his great chess move position in Syria. He now almost has to collaborate and
eventually this will lead him to give up Assad as you surmised.

@FrenchPilot
I saw that and posted Diésel on the Paris under attacks thread instead.

Good day all, Tay

5,000 rounds were fired in the raid. The apartment almost collapsed due to the bombing.

 

[Nilgiri]

I suspect more such raids are incoming....over the next few weeks, even months. Probably all across Europe, since terrorist nests are not exclusive to only France.

 

[F-22Raptor]

I thought this was funny. A guy from the "hood" threatens ISIS.

 

[Taygibay]

The apartment almost collapsed due to the bombing.

One floor did actually, man!

Here are two correct English language summaries ( both from America ),

The shootout in Saint-Denis began at 4:20 a.m. and lasted nearly an hour, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said Wednesday. At least two people died, he said. Neither has been identified.

• Seven men and a woman were detained in Wednesday's raids, Molins said. That tally is one higher than the one previously provided by authorities.

• The suicide bomber who blew herself up during the Saint-Denis raid has been identified as a cousin of Abaaoud, Belgian state broadcaster RTBF reported. CNN has not verified the report, but earlier Wednesday, a Belgian counterterrorism official told CNN that before the raid, a wiretap conducted by French and Belgian authorities led them to believe Abaaoud's female cousin was in an apartment in Saint-Denis.

• A phone thrown into a garbage can outside the Bataclan theater contained a text message saying the attack was about to begin, Molins said. Authorities are trying to determine who the message was sent to, he said.

• The raids focused on two apartments on the same street, a Paris police source told CNN. The raid on one group led to a raid on another group, the source said. Witnesses reported hearing sustained gunfire about 4:30 a.m., and a CNN reporter said she heard five or six explosions at the scene, but it wasn't clear if the explosions were controlled or otherwise.

Investigators will use DNA analysis to determine whether Abaaoud was killed in the raid, a Belgian counterterrorism official told CNN. A French commando team used powerful munitions to neutralize suspects, resulting in the collapse of an entire floor of the building. In the rubble, investigators found body parts, the source said.

• Two suspects from the Saint-Denis raids, both of whom required surgery for arm injuries, are being treated at a hospital in Bobigny, France, according to CNN affiliate BFMTV.

• Five police officers were injured and a police dog was killed, police said.

• Authorities overnight in France conducted 118 searches, took 25 people into custody and confiscated 34 weapons, the French Interior Ministry said. Authorities also found narcotics in 16 instances, the statement said.

• French police are analyzing a video that shows two gunmen and perhaps a third person inside a black SEAT automobile that has been tied to the attacks, French media reported.

• The Paris attacks aren't the first time fugitive suspects Saleh Abdelsalm and Abaaoud have been linked. They were both convicted in 2011 of the same theft and each served a month in jail, Belgian Federal Prosecutor Eric Van Der Sypt said.

​

After the raid, forsenics experts combed through the aftermath — blown-out windows, floors collapsed by explosions — presumably seeking DNA and other evidence.

Molins said a discarded cellphone helped identify safe houses used by attackers to plan Friday’s coordinated assaults, which killed 129 people and wounded more than 350 across Paris.

Molins said police launched the raid because they believed that Abaaoud was “entrenched” on the third floor of the apartment building. He said that neither Abaaoud nor another wanted suspect, Salah Abdeslam, was among eight people who were arrested at the apartment and other locations on Wednesday. Three people were arrested in the raid on the apartment, he said, one of whom had a gunshot wound in the arm.

The raid on the apartment building appeared to be linked in part to plans to stage a follow-up terrorist attack in the La Defense business district, about 10 miles away, two police officials and an investigator close to the investigation said. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief media.

As security forces closed in, a woman set off a suicide blast — possibly an explosive-rigged vest or belt — after opening fire. The eight people who were arrested Wednesday in Saint-Denis, a teeming district with a large immigrant population, included seven men and one woman, Molins said.

French media identified the suicide bomber as Hasna Aitboulahcen, a cousin of Abaaoud’s. The 26-year-old French citizen is a former manager of Beko Construction, a company in Epinay-sur-Seine, a town north of Saint-Denis. The company was closed in 2014.

Good evening all, Tay.

 

[F-22Raptor]

Here's the female terrorist.

 

[Ind4Ever]

I think those are the 3 UK teens who went to Turkey to try and get to Syria (bangladeshi origin iirc)

UK is becoming major free breading ground for Terrorism to grow in the name of free speech and freedom. EU is in a big troubled times ahead.

 

[Water Car Engineer]

A total of 414 raids have taken place with 60 arrests and 75 weapons discovered.

WOW!!

 

[TheNoob]

Shoot them where they are.
Doesnt matter if they're women, Children or dogs!

DEATH TO YOU EXTREMIST HYPOCRITES!

France shall not raise a white flag this time.
