Paris attacks: 'Ringleader' Abdelhamid Abaaoud killed in raid
The suspected ringleader of the Paris attacks, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, was among those killed in a French police raid on Wednesday, prosecutors say.
They confirmed the Islamic State (IS) militant had died in a flat in the Paris suburb of Saint Denis.
His body was found riddled with bullets and shrapnel in the apartment.
Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said he had received intelligence that Abaaoud had passed through Greece on his return from Syria.
It is unclear whether the Belgian had concealed himself among the thousands of migrants arriving in Greece before heading for other EU nations.
Friday's gun and suicide bomb attacks in the French capital left 129 people dead and hundreds injured.
