3rd Body Found in Anti-Terror Raid Outside Paris

A third person was killed in the anti-terror raid that targeted the Paris attack ringleader, officials confirmed Friday as the hunt continued for a suspected accomplice, NBC News reported.

The unidentified body was in an apartment in the northern Paris suburb of Saint-Denis along with that Belgian jihadi Abdelhamid Abaaoud and Hasna Aitboulahcen, a woman initially believed to be a suicide bomber who blew herself up as elite forces stormed in.

Later Friday, the Paris prosecutor's office said Aitboulahcen was killed during the raid but did not blow herself up.

The development came as the death toll in the Paris massacre climbed to 130. The interior ministry said police had conducted 793 raids in the wake of the atrocities.
