It was unknown whether Abdelhamid Abaaoud was killed in the attack.

Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the ringleader of the Paris terror attacks, was not among eight people arrested during a raid in Saint-Denis this morning, the Paris prosecutor has said.

Two people were initially thought to have died during the raid - including a woman believed to have detonated a suicide belt.

Francois Molins said authorities were still working to identify those that had been arrested and killed, adding that the number of dead was not yet known.

He added that 5,000 rounds were fired during the siege, which began at 4.20am and continued for around seven hours.
