RAID IN PARIS KILLS 2 TERRORISTS AND 7 ARRESTED …

Two Islamist terrorist suspects have been killed in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis following a police raid of a home of individuals linked to the deadly terror attacks that rocked the French capital five days ago killing 129 innocent lives. According to reports, seven people have been arrested, including three men who were removed from inside the apartment. It is also being reported that the suspects targeted in Saint-Denis were “about to move on some kind of operation.” It appears that the raid has thwarted another terror attack that was planned for Paris. Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the suspected ringleader of the Paris attacks, is one of the potential targets of the operation.

A violent, hours-long operation in a Paris suburb ended Wednesday with two suspected terrorists dead, seven detained, new attacks potentially thwarted and further proof, according to French President Francois Hollande, that his country is “at war” with ISIS.

The Saint-Denis raid targeted the purported ringleader of last week’s bloody Paris attacks and came as the suspects were “about to move on some kind of operation,”

UPDATES:

• 7:43 a.m. ET: French President Francois Hollande said Wednesday that he would propose a law to legislators to extend by three months the state of emergency that was declared after the Paris attacks. The state of emergency does restrict certain liberties but gives France the means to re-establish citizens’ liberty, Hollande said.

• 7:22 a.m. ET: Hollande said that what happened in Saint-Denis is further confirmation that “we are at war” with ISIS. He said terrorists were targeting France because of its values and place in the world. “Daesh (ISIS) has an army, financial resources, oil resources, and occupies a territory. It has accomplices in Europe. … It commits barbarous massacres,” Hollande said.
