French authorities say that Abdelhamid Abaaoud, who is credited with organizing last week’s deadly attacks on the French capital, was among the two people who died during Wednesday’s police raid on an apartment in northern Paris. Eight other people were arrested in the raid.
—On Thursday, Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel pledged $427 million to fighting Islamist violence in the country. Belgium, which has faced some criticism for failing to crackdown on extremists in the country, has also introduced a sweeping series of anti-terror laws including increased detentions and enhanced surveillance.
—French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve says 115,000 security personnel have been mobilized after Friday’s attacks. Separately, French air strikes in Syria have targeted the Islamic State, and President Francois Hollande has called for constitutional amendments that he said would make it easier to respond to terrorist attacks.
—The death toll in Friday’s attack stands at 129, and French officials say all of them have now been identified. 368 others were injured.
A raid early Wednesday by French security forces on an apartment St. Denis, a historic northern suburb of Paris, ended in the deaths of two people, including a woman who blew herself up and Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the alleged organizer of the Paris attacks. Eight people were arrested in the operation, but other suspects remain at large.
The death of Abaaoud was announced just as the lower house of French parliament voted to extend the country’s state of emergency. If passed by the upper house, France’s emergency powers will remain in effect for another three months.
Of Wednesday’s raid, Francois Molins, the Paris prosecutor, said security forces had “neutralized a terrorist team planning a new attack.” He added three of the eight arrested were yet to be identified, but declined to name any of the others
