They got him but not without some drama. Apparently a female suicide bomber blew herself up, killing a police dog and injuring several officers.

Suspected Paris attacks ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud killed in St-Denis raid – latest news

Conflicting information is rife regarding Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the man reported by several news outlets to have been killed in the St-Denis siege.

Now the Belgian public broadcaster reports neither Abu OudorSalah Abdeslam, the two most wanted men connected to the Paris attacks, are among the dead or arrested from last night’s raid.

The broadcaster RTBF quotes an official source close to the investigation.

Last night the Washington Post had conflicting information from two senior European officials, reporting Abu Oud was the dead man from the police raid on the Paris suburban apartment, where a female suicide bomber also died.

We still have no official confirmation of who died in the raid from French or Belgian prosecutors or police.

French forensic teams are working to establish whether the body of a man found dead after a firefight with police is Abu Oud, who is the alleged ringleader of last week’s Paris terror attacks.

dont go to their level by celebrating death

The last thing the police wanted to do is kill the rag head.
In fact they were ORDERED not to kill him if at all possible.
My guess is he's currently at a 'black site' somewhere in C. Europe.
No one will ever see him again. When the 'interrogators' are finished with him they'll pull his teeth and feed him to some half starved pigs. Yes they really do that in C. European 'black sites'.
Today's interrogation techniques are essentially all based on the use of chemicals. Inject someone with what used to be called 'truth serum' but is now a thousand times more effective and the person will sit perfectly wide awake and tell you their life story including everything they know about who they know.

Good riddance. We need to root out and exterminate every last one of those cockroaches.

Thousands more are waiting to replace him.

2 killed, 8 terror suspects held in France terror raid - CNN.com

Investigators zeroed in on the building after picking up phone conversations indicating that a relative of Abaaoud might be there. They met fierce resistance from the start, including an armored door, a woman who blew herself up and bullets flying back and forth for about an hour. The French officers even used powerful munitions, which led to one floor of the building collapsing.

That violence produced rubble that included body parts, on which investigators are conducting DNA tests.

Woman in raid didn't blow herself up...

Paris attacks: Woman 'was not suicide bomber' in raid
20 November 2015 - French officials say the cousin of the presumed ringleader of the Paris attacks did not blow herself up in Wednesday's police raid in the Saint-Denis suburb as previously thought.

It is now thought the suicide bomber was a man, not 26-year-old Hasna Ait Boulahcen, who also died in the raid. Her cousin, alleged ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud is also confirmed to have died in the raid. A third body was also found which is still being identified. Also on Friday, prosecutors said that a second suicide bomber from the Stade de France attack passed through Greece on his way to France.

Live updates

Prosecutors had previously said one of the other attackers had come on the same route, via the Greek island of Leros. The men may have been posing as Syrian refugees. Meanwhile, Belgian authorities announced that a suspect had been charged with involvement in the attacks, bringing the number of people charged there to three. France's Prime Minister Manuel Valls announced that the death toll from the attacks a week ago by suicide bombers and gunmen had risen to 130 people. Hundreds of people were wounded in the near-simultaneous attacks on Paris bars and restaurants, a concert hall and sports stadium.

Hasna Aitboulahcen had been thought to have blown herself up during the raid​

Islamic State (IS) said it was behind the attacks - the worst in Europe since the 2004 Madrid bombings. Demonstrations have been banned under France's state of emergency, but dozens of French artists and cultural figures have urged people to make a lot of "noise and light", by turning on music and lights, at 21:20 (20:20 GMT) on Friday to mark the exact time a week ago that the attacks began. People have gathered at the sites of the attacks to commemorate the victims, as well as the Place de la Republique square, which is close to some of the bars and restaurants that were attacked and has become a focal point of remembrance.

In an exclusive interview with the BBC, a member of the police assault team involved in Wednesday's raid said Hasna Ait Boulahcen was "trying to say she was not linked to the terrorists, that she had nothing to do with them and wanted to surrender". But he said that due to prior intelligence, "we knew that she was trying to manipulate us". Prosecutors confirmed that both she and Abbaoud died in the seven-hour-long raid in the Rue Cormillon apartment on Wednesday morning. News that Abaaoud - a well-known face of IS and on international "most wanted" lists - and at least one of his accomplices may have travelled undetected from Syria before carrying out the attacks has raised fears about EU border security.

she might not have held he switch but she was wearing the vest, she was a cousin and she obviously was aware if what was in the apartment. Unless they find out she had been kidnapped, which so far there is no such indication and she was in propaganda picture smiling, she was still a participant in some way.
