Paris Attack "Mastermind" Killed In Police Raid
On Wednesday, once the smoke cleared from a seven hour seige on an apartment in the Paris suburb of St. Denis, French authorities knew attack "mastermind" Abdelhamid Abaaoud's cousin was dead.
She detonated a suicide vest as police closed in. Here's an eyewitness account of her final moments:
During a ten or fifteen minute lull in the shooting I heard a woman shouting: ‘Help, help, help me!’ The police asked her to identify herself and to show herself. She showed her hands but she didn’t reveal her face.
She withdrew them and then put them up again several times. They shouted at her: ‘Keep your hands in the air!’
They told her: ‘We’re going to shoot.’
The shooting resumed. The police were firing from the roof of the building opposite. Suddenly there was an enormous explosion [from the window, inside the flat]. It was probably the woman who blew herself up.
The windows shattered. Lots of objects from the apartment were thrown into the street, pieces of human flesh as well. They are still there. You can see a bit of the head, of skin, of ribs.
Seven suspects were arrested after a prolonged gun battle and French prosecutor Francois Molins confirmed that Abaaoud was not among those detained.
Molins did not, however, deny that he was among the dead.
Following Molins' presser, WaPo reported that according to European intelligence officials, Abaaoud was indeed killed, but there was no confirmation heading into Thursday.
Well, just moments ago, French authorities confirmed that the "mastermind" - the 27-year old that WSJ claims was the "emir of war" in eastern Deir Ezzour, was indeed killed by police in the raid.
- FRANCE PROSECUTOR SAYS ABDEL HAMID ABAAOUD IS DEAD
Here's a bit of color which seems to indicate that either, i) Abaaoud went down in a blaze of jihadist glory, or ii) French police simply opened up on him in retailiation for the attacks:
Paris prosecutor says Abaaoud was been identified dead at the scene by his fingerprints.
His body was found "riddled with impacts"

As so, the world is now a safer place - or at least that's probably how authorities will pitch it. Expect this to be trotted out as a major victory for France over terrorism and expect ISIS to immediately use the memory of their martyred "brother" as motivation for still more attacks.
For those who missed it, a complete profile of Abaaoud can be found below.

Meet The 27-Year Old "Mastermind" Behind The Paris Attacks
Behold! A terrorist “mastermind”:
That’s Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the 27-year old Belgian/ Moroccan that, as we outlined on Monday, is the alleged ringleader of the attacks that killed 129 in Paris last Friday.
Oh what a difference a decade makes. Compare and contrast:
But you know what they say, "you can't judge a jihadist book by its cover," and by all accounts, Abaaoud isn't as friendly in person as he appears in the photos shown above - at least not if you're an infidel.
Abaaoud apparently popped onto authorities' radar screens after a January raid in Verviers, Belgium where police claimed to have disrupted an ISIS cell just prior to an attack.
"This was in the framework of an operation looking into an operational cell made up of people, some of whom coming back from Syria. The investigation made it possible to determine that the group was about to carry out major terrorist attacks in Belgium imminently," prosecutor's spokesman Thierry Werts said at the time.
Three people were targeted during the raid, two of whom were killed after a shootout with police. Here's video footage shot by a neighbor:
According to CNN, "Abaaoud, who lived at one point in Molenbeek -- where several raids were conducted Monday -- was apparently in touch by phone with the three ISIS fighters targeted in the January raid. In the weeks preceding that raid, Belgian counterterrorism agencies traced the calls to a cell phone in Greece that they believed was being used by Abaaoud."
Here is Abaaoud's account of the battle as published in Dabiq (embedded below):
Dabiq: What happened on the day of the battle with the Belgian authorities?
Abaaoud: Abuz-Zubayr and Abu Khalid were together and had their weapons and explosives ready. The kuffar raided the place with more than 150 soldiers from both French and Belgian special forces units. After a gun battle that lasted about 10 minutes, both brothers were blessed with shahadah, which is what they had desired for so long. I ask Allah to accept them both.
So commandos raided the safehouse and Abaaoud's operatives were shot and killed. Got it. Here's Abaaoud with the two men killed in Belgium:
Anyway, Abaaoud was apparently the cell's link to the ISIS senior command (the ones in Raqqa not the ones at Langley). According to Abaaoud (who quite possibly had delusions of grandeur at the time of the Dabiq interview), Belgium "gathered intelligence agents from all over the world" in a futile attempt to track him down after the Verviers raid.
After being "chased by all those intelligence agents," Abaaoud escaped to Syria after Allah "blinded [the authorities'] vision."
Shortly after the attacks, journalist Etienne Huver obtained Abaaoud's cell phone (Abaaoud told Dabiq it was "lost" and later "sold" to a Western journalist). Huver aired the footage. Here it is:
And here's some color, Google translated from the original RTBF piece:
An exceptional document 7 on A. The contents of the cell phone the most wanted man in Europe. Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the alleged sponsor of foiled attacks last week leading the jihad in Syria as if it were vacation. The fighting and atrocities and more.
These images are not images of propaganda, it is the mobile phone of the contents of a jihadist wanted by all Europe, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the alleged sponsor of foiled attacks last week in Belgium.
The first images are uplifting banality. Around pictures, charming images, some cartoons ... Well no wonder, rather, a fairly standard inventory the contents of a GSM young Belgian. But from January 7, 2014, the data from this device indicate that looking to rent spacious, fast cars, obviously for a long drive.
We do not find pictures of the trip in his phone but early February snapshots show that has arrived in Syria. Selfies of which is often seen smiling, posing with other fighters.
As The New York Times reported back in January, "when Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the Belgian-born son of an immigrant shopkeeper from Morocco, went to Syria a year ago to wage jihad, nobody paid much attention." It was only when "a few months later" Abaaoud brought his own 13-year-old brother to Syria, that people took notice.
The younger brother -who is apparently now known as "the youngest jihadi in the world" - left Belgium just after Abbaoud was seen dragging a pile of mutilated bodies from the back of pickup truck (depicted in the video above). Here's more from The Times:
Yasmina Abaaoud, Mr. Abaaoud’s older sister, a professional woman who does not wear a veil and now lives in a more upscale area of Brussels, said neither of the brothers who went to Syria ever showed a zealous interest in religion before their departure. “They did not even go to the mosque,” she said.
The whereabouts of Mr. Abaaoud, also known as Abou Omar Soussi, is not known. His sister Yasmina said the family received calls last fall from Syria saying he had become a “martyr,” meaning he had been killed in battle. She said the family has not heard from him or the younger brother, now 14, since.
But investigators now believe the “martyr” report was a ruse to try to throw Western intelligence services off his scent so that he could try to re-enter Europe.
Yes, indeed that now appears to have been a "ruse."
Reports also indicate Abbaoud was behind the train attack that was famously foiled by American soldiers, winning one the medal of honor. "One French official with direct knowledge of the investigation told The Associated Press that Abaaoud is believed to have links to earlier terror attacks that were thwarted: one against a Paris-bound high-speed train that was foiled by three young Americans in August, and the other against a church in the French capital's suburbs," AP reported earlier today.
Whatever his role in the Paris massacre or in any other attacks recently perpetrated in the name of ISIS, the interesting thing here is that this most certainly is not a battle-hardened Mujahideen who earned his stripes fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan.
No, Abbaoud is just a kid from Belgium. He's the son of an immigrant shopkeeper from Morocco, he wasn't religious (according to his sister), and he spent a year at Collège Saint-Pierre, a prestigious Catholic school. Here's his school picture:
With all of the above in mind, we close with two quotes, one from a former classmate, describing Abaaoud and one from Abaaoud himself.
From a classmate (translated): "...he liked to do small silly things, it trifouillait in our lockers to put a bit of a mess, but never any flights. He got along well with everyone, it was often with a group of boys who loved playing football, set of classroom atmosphere. It was even a little flirty which was related quite normal with the girls in the class."
From Abaaoud: “Are you satisfied with the life you lead, a humiliating life, whether you are in Europe, in Africa, in Arab countries or in America? Are you satisfied with this life, with this life of humiliation? Only violent jihad [can] restore [your] pride and honor. You will find this only in your religion, only in jihad. Is there anything better than jihad or a martyr?”

Dead men tell no tales
Exactly. If this unemployed bricklayer was truly the "Mastermind", why not capture him alive?
Wouldn't it be useful to know the following:
-Who are the other members of his network?
-Who gave him the financing for the weapons and equipment purchase?
-Who were his ISIS contacts?
-What are possible future attack vectors?
-Where did he receive his training?
And so on...
But just like the myth of the Lone Gunman, we are led to believe that he was largely acting alone, and now he is dead. How convenient.
latina, you know the answer, they do not need to know that from the mad dogs -if we suspect western elites are behind false flag attacks. it does give one pause that perhaps they are.
'What are possible future attack vectors?
-Where did he receive his training?
ps got the phone number of that gal of yours?
perhaps?!
27 years old? A protracted war lets the young grow up in hatred and on and on. Something must change as we are only keeping heat on a boiling pot and the killings, on both sides, will only continue.
Let me guess...his body was buried at sea and no one thought to take any pics?
What's the French equivalent of "Tying up loose ends?"
pods
Using over 5,000 rounds to take down one puppet.
Well done Froggie
What? They should have told him "hello mister crazy terrorist, you are surrounded. Come out with your hands up". You think he would listen? Other than tossing in some quick working gas to render him unconscious there is little chance they could have taken him alive.
If you capture him alive then he can't resume his real identity back in one of our allies armed forces...
.
They caught some alive....terrorists tend to go down fighting...suicide vests , if I was a cop there I'd kill everyone I could so they didn't suicide vest me like that terrorist bitch did with the cops...luckily the cops shot 1st instead of trying to capture her.
Exactly. I wonder why we buried the last "mastermind" we killed at sea? Perhaps things really are different this time.
#ParisWasAZionJob
Abaaoud---if that's even his name---is safely in Doha, drinking champagne, fucking the best "Ukrainian" sex slaves his new wealth can buy, and laughing his greasy head off.
Don't believe me, negatives? We can discuss it when you're able to refer me to:
1. Some pictures of his dead body;
2. The sworn testimony of two Christians or Jews (no Muslims) able and willing to identify the corpse by name.
and he just found out there are no virgins waiting for him....
No no there are. But instead of 72 virgins he will get a virgin of 72.
72 Helen Thomas's? Damn, that is Hellish!!!
Very good hasbara troll
WAH Wah wah (game show loser music)
No but Charley Sheen and Obama will both suck his dick.
Thats just it. Handlers in Langley. author shoould of just said that, not all the rest.
GO TO THE LIGHT FUCKER! WHOEHAHAHAHAHA
IT'S WHAT WE CALL MUZZLE FLASHES!
Rest in Hell fcuk face...
Lol, hate the puppet, not the puppet master, so typical...
Those puppets don't have masters...
Don't flatter yourself, you're not that smart.
The picture of Abaaoud with the two men killled in Belgium looks like a boy band promotional photo.
Except their intended audiences are little boys and goats.
Somehow this reminds me of the film Leon.
I would have went with a eurotrash rendition of Romper Stomper.
Yep. Two of the vest-wearing suicides failed to even breach the football stadium and had to blow themselves to smithereens outside. The drive-by douchebag experiences an AK malfunction, that takes some real effort, and a ballistic shield shown by the police shows about 20 impacts from rifle fire with not a single shot group evident on the entire shield. Apparently the gun battle was very close quarters combat. It also takes effort to not group your shots at less than 15-10 meters with an AK. I could give an AK to an Asian chick who's never fired a weapon before in her life and who can barely hold up the weapon and teach her to group her shots in under an hour.
Everything about these guys screams rank amateurs. The only quality evident in them is their sincere desire to die. If their targets had been even in the slightest bit hardened with even a modicum of training, or, heaven forbid... a weapon... this would have gone very differently. How intelligence agencies were not able to track these guys is truly astounding. Or......
they were all young, very young aged between 16 to 28 years old ... i guess they spent most of their instruction feeding them bullshit to go blow themselves up, not enough time to teach them how to shoot ...
those fuckers obviously didnt go themselves do the dirty work remind me of ..
Yeah, you would almost wish they had been better trained to kill even more innocent people, right ?
we now have two ak malfunctions...?!?!?..........WTF....bad ammo or operator error. i go for the operator error. i think they kept the safety on...alah is up off or down...oh fuck me!....sorry alla.....
No kidding if this thing still fires-

Just compare the siege of the Russian theater by terrorists.
why not just capture him...come on ..he is a jihadi...he wants to take as many of you with him....unfortunatly there are millions more like him out there
He died with his nigger lips in a permanent smirk .... I should say camel lips .... what a primitive snout (hocico).... and Latina Lover thought he was sexy ?
Semites, such as some Armenians, Arabs, and Jews are high fraction Neanderthal, upwards of 40% mix.
Outward signs of this admixture are a sloping forhead, brow ridge, hook nose, and evert lips.
The lips will tend to wrap around the face as well, which makes for a big smile when they do smile.
Overall shape of the face is like a bowl. Cro-Magnon's have more of a flat face, with upright foreheads.
Large nose and being hairy are legacy feature of ice age adaptations. These features are of no evolutionary value in hot middle eastern climates. Large nose is to pre-heat artic air.
Semite minds seem to be prone to flights of fantasy, which emanate from Amygdala area of brain, hence their "story-telling" and great ability at creating fiction. This region of the brain is likely constructed differently due to neanderthal admixture, and hence they process information different than do CroMagnons. Or, their higher function hippocampus regions are unable to dampen the "crazy" ideas being emanated from the more pre-historic amygdala regions.
It is also interesting (to me at least) that Old Testament, Post Medina Islam, and TalmudCabala emanated from Semite Brains.
It would be easy to pay off and bribe a young impressionable mind already prone to psychopathy. Cro-Magnon's also have their own psychopath problem too, but it seems in lower percentages.

Abaaoud took too long to figure out his handlers were hostile and ran too late.
Should have heeded Ackbar's warning - "IT'S A TRAP!"
Why not cut off his head, shit in his mouth, and stake his head on a pike where all can abuse it. Also, do not ever bury the body. Simply let it lay out in the soccer field and let folks kick it around whenever they need some amusement?
The authorities should allow every dead religion of peace terrorist to be eaten by hogs, and show the video of it on National TV.
I don't think you should say such things about Judaism.
What treatment you are referring should be focused on those American zionists who are destroying this nation, starting on Wall Street...not some Muslim kid.
another marionette gets it's strings clipped
Now go after his wifes and kids...
these terrorist need to know that we will now go after all of his living realatives, his wife, his kid, his parents, and we will not rest until we have exterminated his entire gentic line...
What? How come he wasn't "buried at sea"?
I thought the rolling door barricade was interesting. A good prepper idea for use against raiders.
Why do they Always Kill them? Why not capture and interrogate? Oh, that's right. The war on terror is a farce, False-Flag operation to achieve one world government/currency and to spy on Citizens.
good luck trying to convince a heavily armed guy bent on suicide to surrender. By the way, they captured seven people alive.....there goes your narrative.
And suicides in the prison will start in 1, 2, 3...
Anyone remembers the cop who got suicided in the office after the Hebdo false flag? Let's wait if there will be more like him after Paris false flag..
I always thought a tracking device be planted up their ass after medicating them and then let them go and show the way back to, Mr. Big. It would work until they figured it out.
"heavily armed" who are you getting your info from government propaganda specialists???
Obviously the goal would be to get the guy alive, yet his body is "peppered with holes". Spin your obvious BS somewhere else.
It seems to me that Abaaoud and associates are the very same heinous, murderous ilk as Klebold and Harris of Columbine infamy, except that the former use Islamic jihad as cover.
masterminds always have furry cats...where is his cat?
the media meme is that he is Belgian.
Certainly looks like one to me/sarc/
Rent was overdue. This was really a raid by the banksters looking for their car payments, student loan payments, etc. At least this is what my chickens said this morning. They watch CNN in their coop.
didjaeverletem watch Squawkbox? Haines made my rooster crow.
It's hilarious that even Zerohedge tries to peddle the wackoism that the CIA controls ISIS. Anyone with a passing knowledge of recent history knows we tried to wipe them out back in Iraq.
Educate us, what "recent history" are you looking at to prove the CIA is trying "wipe out ISIS? This should be good, try and give us something more than a soundbite from zionist media CNN...
Al CIAduh, I$I$, IDF and all the other nutjobs slaughtering ad nauseam are the bastard spawn of USSA, the psychopathic whore waging war on every level against the human family and any moron that says otherwise is either a lying moron or an ignorant moron.

Dead men tell no tales.
Abdelhamid Abaaoud is (or was) a psychopath.
The great danger of psychopaths is how adept they are at lying very convincingly and manipulating others. They have no feelings for others - even though they are adept at giving the exact opposite impression - and would shoot you in the head as soon as look at you. For them, everything is a theatrical show to support their megalomaniacal control-freakery. They see others as instruments of their own agenda.
"characteristics of a psychopath"
Yes. And?
The real problem is that nobody in a position to do so did a thing to stop him till it was too late.
Hamid Abaaoud did time in a Belgian prison. He should not have been allowed to emerge alive. A better ordered world would confine psychopaths to insane asylums as soon as they're identified as such and see to it they never come out except in a plywood coffin.
In this one, they rule over us.
His family claim now to have prayed for his death. If he'd gone to work for AXA Bank instead, he'd still be their pride and joy. Never mind that he'd be helping ruin lives daily.
The thing about psychopaths as I said, is they are very adept at fooling people, manipulating people, showing false emotions and feigning victim status etc. Psychologically speaking they are masters of disguise. It comes naturally to them.
It is therefore difficult for ordinary people to spot them - given that most of us lean towards accepting others at face value, not least most people don't know what traits to look for. Someone is usually only defined as a psychopath when examined/interviewed by clinical psychologists in a range of situations etc. He has probably spent his whole life fooling other people and presenting himself as a victim.
Then of course there is the matter that psychopaths do not exist in a binary manner, they exist on a scale of 0-40 according to the leading expert Prof Hare who first identified the condition. A score of 0 is a spineless, gutless doormat. A score of 40 is Hannibal Lectar. But most psychopaths exist well inside these two extremes.
Consider this comment in Tyler's article and ask yourself if the nice friendly photos of him match his real self: No way.
"But you know what they say, "you can't judge a jihadist book by its cover," and by all accounts, Abaaoud isn't as friendly in person as he appears in the photos shown above [...]"
That's a psychopath.
Rot In Pieces...
Calming the sheeple
This guy is a *mastermind* and not an extra from a Harold and Kumar movie? YIKES...
Great! Another Jihadist gets his ticket to paradise punched! I'll bet that he was surprised! G-d didn't blind the "Crusaders" vision this time!
Now, if they have any desire for self-preservation, the Belgian authorities will round up his entire extended family and kick their asses back to Morocco where they belong.
In France, the terrists always end up shot by the SWAT teams.
Dead men don't tell no tales.
For true justice to be done the French should feed that POS to pigs and film it for the rest of these shit birds to see their fate.
Invite more of these assholes into your countries, altruistic peoples of the West. Assume they all want to kill and wreak havoc. Use the honor system, even better. Don't fingerprint, photograph or confirm if they will be gainfully employed. Just let 'em all in and call anybody who questions the intelligence of such an endeavor as "racist" or "Nazi"
When it blows up in your face, continue to blame your political enemies for the hurtful words they used in describing these terrorists as the root cause of said terrorism.
