Gunfire rang out in a northern Paris suburb Wednesday as police launched a massive predawn raid to capture at least seven suspects in last week’s Paris terrorist attacks, in an operation targeting a Belgian militant identified as a ringleader of the rampage.
French government spokesman Stephane Le Foll told reporters the seven-hour police raid was over around midday Wednesday.
One woman died when she detonated a suicide vest as police closed in on an apartment housing the suspects in the northern suburb of St. Denis, the French prosecutor’s office said.
In all, seven people were arrested and two suspects were killed, the prosecutor said.
