Dramatic developments in the hunt for surviving suspects from the Paris attacks: At least two are dead and seven more arrested after a huge police raid on an apartment in Saint-Denis, north of Paris, Wednesday morning. The big question—whether alleged mastermind Abdelhamid Abaaoud is among them—remains unclear, reports the AP. He was thought to have been hiding in a safe house in the neighborhood. A woman detonated a suicide belt when police moved in, and a man was killed when a grenade went off, reports the New York Times. The police action lasted about seven hours. More:
- In a speech after the raid, French President Francois Hollande declared that ISIS is "threatening the whole world" and told lawmakers that France must "reestablish control of (its) frontiers," reports the BBC. Fighting terrorism must be the nation's top priority, he said, adding that France "will remain a country of liberty and culture" and "never give in to fear."
