"We Could See Bullets Flying And Laser Beams": Full Paris "Mastermind" Raid Summary
Initially, officials assumed the alleged “mastermind” behind last Friday’s attacks in Paris was already back in Syria.
After all, Abdelhamid Abaaoud had already alluded authorities once this year when, in the wake of the January raid in Verviers, Belgium that killed two of his operatives, the 27-year old escaped to “Sham” when “Allah blinded the vision” of the legions of intelligence operatives that he imagines were chasing him.
To whatever extent Abaaoud dramatized his great Belgian escape in an interview that appeared in the February issue of Dabiq, this time around he really was one of the most wanted men in the world and as it turns out, Allah might have forgotten to “blind” the infidels in the four days since the attacks in France.
Although details are still sparse, we know that Abaaoud was the target of a pre-dawn raid in the Paris suburb of St. Denis and we also know that French police had "intelligence" which led them directly to the flat where they believed Abaaoud was likely to be hiding.
Just before 4:30 am local time, SWAT and anti-terror units descended on an apartment about 2km from the Stade de France.
Five people were barricaded inside the flat and when police moved in, a gun battle ensued, as neighbors reported prolonged exchanges of automatic gunfire and explosions.
"We could see bullets flying and laser beams out of the window. There were explosions. You could feel the whole building shake," a neighbor told Reuters. "I tried to hide my son beneath me but each time there was shooting he was clawing at my skin,” she added.
The raid lasted some seven hours and in the end, two people were killed and seven people were arrested, three in the apartment itself, two nearby, the landlord, and the landlord’s female “friend.” At least one French media source says the landord had a previous eight-year murder sentence.
One of those killed was a woman, who detonated a suicide vest. According to BFMTV, police sources had placed a woman under surveillance “days ago” who they thought might be hiding Abaaoud. BFM also says she may have been Abaaoud's cousin. For his part, interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve told reporters that police had intelligence which led them to believe that “Abu Oud was likely to be [at the apartment].”
Cazeneuve also said there were 110 total security personnel involved in the raid.

According to French prosecutor Francois Molins, police also had tapped phone conversations which corroborated the surveillance which initially led them to believe that Abaaoud was in the building. Still, Molins was non-committal about whether he was indeed there when police arrived. "Paris prosecutor Francois Molins has told journalists that it is still unclear whether alleged mastermind of the Paris attacks, Abdel-Hamid Abu Oud, was in the apartment after the seven-hour police raid," The Guardian says.
For his part, St. Denis mayor Didier Paillard was shocked: “We were not prepared for this discovery. This is a city that has 130 different nationalities, including people who come from war zones. We are a population that needs serenity. This is an old area which is in the process of being renovated." Well Mr. Paillard, ISIS and SWAT did a bit of free demolition work for you overnight, so feel free to "renovate" that flat.
While it's still too early to draw any conclusions, it would certainly appear as though Abaaoud might have gotten away again. After all, it's probably safe to assume that police have determined he was not one of the two people killed nor one of the seven people arrested, so either he's hiding in a closet somewhere or he escaped.
But who knows, we suppose it's possible authorities just aren't ready to make an announcement yet, although given the atmosphere in France, one would certainly think that if Abaaoud were either killed or captured, officials would want to inform Parisians immediately as it would presumably serve as a morale booster for a civilian population still reeling from Friday's massacre. But again, that's just speculation as Molins told reporters that "it is currently impossible to give the identify of those arrested, which is being verified. Everything will be done to work out who is who and thanks to forensics who was in the apartment."
Just moments ago The Telegraph, citing Le Monde, says Abaaoud was not among those arrested this morning. "Was he among the dead? It is unclear [and although] details are sketchy, experts suggest this could have been a cell in the final stages of preparing another strike."
We shall see, but one thing is for sure, if Abaaoud was there and is now loose in Paris, you can bet you'll see more raids just like this one in the days and weeks ahead.

Oh, the irony. It was a Frenchman who wrote a novel about this kind of scenario happening 42 years ago.
I understand Jean Raspail's The Camp of the Saints is currently undergoing more printings. (You can download a pdf at the link.) Let us hope the lesson is not lost of the various European governments involved. for things are looking just as dire for Europe and the West as it did in the book.
They know where Abaaoud is...
He's with Osama bin Laden and "Seal Team 6" of course?!!!
Are they ill-tempered?
"Curses, Clousseau! Abaaoud has escaped to Tora Bora! Find him!"
"Certainmont, M. Minister."
French special services found OBL at Tora Bora. They had him in their sights. The US told them to stand down.
eluded.

Should you go back to a country made-up of your own race then?
If you are in the U.S., you are just making Jesus madder and madder risking all of us in a Terror Strike.
Pack yer shit and git!
Coming for guns is the dumbest thing they could do.....they will SLOWLY lift the veil, not abruptly.
you realize all the same shit youre spewing is the same stuff that was said about italian/irish/germans etc in the US during the 19th/early 20th centuries, right?
“Obama coming for the guns in final year” This is total liberal BS. Statements like this are scare tactics. Think about it. It is less than one year from an election. Why would Obama start going after guns, now. It could toss the total election to the opposition.
“…The NRA will fall…” This is the second total liberal BS. The fastest growing minority in America is Gun-Owners. Gun sales are through the roof! Any attempt to touch guns will put the sales of guns through the roof. Any mention of confiscation by government could cause 30 million guns to be sold from current inventory.
Paid Media Matters Libtards like you spew your hate and lies all across the internet trying to spew government propaganda. I didn’t back down in ‘nam. I will not now. So go cry to Obozo Faddie.

As I've said on ZH before, the most likely move against guns will be to control the manufacture/distribution of "ammo", not guns themselves. That will come later.
Yet more convenience. Operation Gladio 2 is working wonders....
France should get more help from Germany.
Germany knows how to organize a good ‘ole fashioned house to house search.
Yeahbut ...the problem is that the Germans do it alphabetically but that is difficult with these jihadists because they've got as many different names as they have fake passports.
No, what makes it difficult is that they are all called Mohammed.

Oceania was at war with Eurasia; therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia.
According to local Truth Ministry
If you are Special Forces over there who do you shoot, Syrian government troops, ISIS, Kurds, Russians, rogue Iraquis, Iranians? Do they put out a daily special on chalkboards?
Someone throw me a bone here. I said I wanted sharks with "laser beams"..........
They say the first one into the apartment, a police dog, was shot dead by the woman who blew herself up. ("Hero police dog Diesel killed by woman suicide bomber in Paris siege"), http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/paris-attacks-saint-denis..., http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/620250/Paris-terror-attacks-raid-dog...
Killing police dogs? Take off the gloves; nuke 'em.
Why shoot the dog?
Just blow yourself up.
She didn't want the dog eating her scraps?
At least someone is bringing this up. Where's the outrage?
"Relax. Don't do it;

You gotta hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me
hit me w/ those laser beams"

Think I don't know security theatre when I see it?
The real killers---the ones that survived anyway---are already in their safe house in a five-star Doha hotel, enjoying French champagne and the best sex slaves "Ukraine" has to offer, planning what they'll do with their retirement nest-egg, and laughing themselves sick at our expense.
Gun shots and explosions! Gun shots and explosions! Gun shots and explosions!
Are they going to drill this shit into everyones heads 24/7/365 for the next 6 months?
The only reason they do this is for the publicity and tv is more than happy to give it to them.
Gun shots and explosions! Gun shots and explosions! Whatever happened to the 6 oclock news that lasted 20 minutes than everyone got on with their lives?
Seriously. Who really gives a shit about what happens in Paris besides Paris?
If you didn't hear about it on tv, you would know about it and you wouldnt care about it either.
Let Paris deal with what happens in Paris!
Lions and tigers and bears. Oh my! Lions and tigers and bears! Oh my!

I wonder why they were so angry???
I can't wait until eye witness reports of the chick in the suicide vest come out.... legend has it she was running on the walls Matrix style and she was the sister of the window hanger.
Actually I shouldn't say that the window hanger could have been real but you get the idea.
So he "alluded" authorities? Did the writer of this article get past the 8th grade?
Yes, he said things to them that may lead them to think certain things.
Which are the bad guy's? Those with the ski mask's on?

Was he going dready with that beard or what?
So I guess France has about 1 car per person?????

They probably better make sure that they are all dead except a few boogie men that are on the run indefinitely. It would help out new security legislation and the fear factor if they managed to cross half the "borders" in the EU. They could be anywhere!
Don't forget that these guys very well may be houdinis and most likely telepathic. Ghost in the darkness Bitchez (that was a great movie).
Mastermind? Right.. More like a gullible kid who actually thinks virgins await him. If anything, he is a common foot soldier causing destruction and killing innocent because the EU overlords allowed these monsters to move into their backyards by the thousands. Obama better hit the breaks on allowing these "refugees" in my backyard.

So it took 111 cops over 7 hours to break into an apartment and subdue the occupants. That seems rather amazing, really!
That's what I was thinking Vinny, especially when I read:
Massive military presence in #SaintDenis, police engaged in shooting, explosions with terrorists. 5 officers injured
They probably shot each other, not to mention destroying the adjacent homes - "Oh, sorry. Well, tough luck for you."
USA’s Muslim Vetting Process:

Why does every LEO fag where a Baclava these days when doing a raid? Why hide their faces? Are they afraid the "terrorists" will find out who they are and come after them? In that case we don't need them and everyone should arm up and defend themselves. Are they afraid common people will recognize them? If they are on our side why would that be a problem? Seems to me, when LEO's where Baclava's the people are fools to think they are working to protect you.
Police in Balaclavas have grated on me for years. Ever since I pulled up to the top of an off ramp on the Capital beltway and here at a checkpoint stand two ‘national security’ types wearing black ninja outfits and with full black face masks during the DC sniper(s) manhunt I have smelled a giant rat’s nest in the national closet. I remember thinking briefly to myself are these guys cops or are these guys the bad guy snipers? ….. Fortunately I figured it all out on the fly.
Nothing says full FUBAR situation like the alleged ‘good guys’ wanting their identity concealed.
I think these goons instinctively know they are going to be hunted down if people ever figure out what they are really up to. I don’t think most of them actually know they are working for the evil, lying, theiving asswipes but they just sort of have a gut feeling that something ain’t right and it might be best to stay as anonymous as possible just in case the masses wake up.

"This is a city that has 130 different nationalities. We are a population that needs serenity. "
With 130 different nationalities the last thing you're going to get is serenity.
so, you don't need mass surveillance or constitution changes to raid terrorists after all?
You can hear anything on ZH, THE place to let your imagination run wild.
It doesn't take a Mastermind to go on a shooting spree. The term is inaccurate in my opinion. I would call it more like the unconscious or deeply insane person.
