Paris attacks mastermind Abbavud killed in encounter

Francoise Moline, the Prosecutor of Paris confirms on Thursday that mastermind of Paris attacks Abdel Hammed Abbavud was killed in the encounter conducted at Saint Denis on Wednesday. He said since the bodies of the terrorists become pieces with the bomb explosions, DNA tests were conducted to identify the terrorists killed in the encounter.

Abdel Hammed Abbavud is a Belgium citizen and he is 27 years old. He narrowly escaped from the French police, as they fail to identify him when they stopped his car for checking few months ago. Paris Prosecutor Moline said he may be killed when a woman terrorist blasts herself during the encounter.

He said the area was cleared by police but the hunt for terrorists will continue in the city. France government is extending state of emergency period for 3 months from today keeping in view of ISIS terrorists’ warnings for revengeful attacks very soon.
