European Union to tighten checks on all travellers at Schengen borders

I’m still reeling, because these are the neighborhoods where we young people go out a lot, places we know well.

Other pictures shows a mains power unit hanging off a shattered wall with wires hanging limp and a communal staircase covered in debris when a wall was peppered with bullets.

A few 350 people were also wounded in last Friday’s attacks, many severely.

Police sources said a tip-off from Moroccan intelligence had helped track Abaaoud to the apartment building where he died.

Like his brother Brahim, who blew himself up in a bar the night of the attacks, Salah played a key logistical role in the wave of terror that left 130 people dead.

Seven attackers are known to have died in Friday’s attacks, which have been claimed by the Islamic State militant group.

Late Friday, Belgium charged a third, unidentified person with involvement in terrorism.

According to the source, after police learnt that Abaaoud was in France and not in Syria as they previously thought, they set out to find Aitboulahcen in the hope he may be with her.

Authorities have not detailed his exact whereabouts or actions during the deadly rampage.

Police on Thursday raided the home of Boulahcen’s mother as it emerged the 26-year-old woman had transformed from a party girl who liked wearing cowboy hats into a radical Islamist who adopted the full-faced veil six months ago.

Beginning at 2120, assailants carry out a wave of attacks, raking diners at bars and restaurants, detonating suicide bombs outside the sports stadium Stade de France – where President Francois Hollande and the German foreign minister are watching a friendly soccer global – and shooting indiscriminately at concert goers inside the Bataclan music hall. Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said that the French government were not aware that Abaaoud was in Europe. The new tally was announced Friday by the Interior Ministry.

It added that 174 weapons, 64 drug supplies and €250,000 ($266,675) had been seized. The brothers also rented accommodation on the outskirts of Paris, where police believe the gang made their final preparations before setting out to commit the massacres.

The prosecutor’s office said Wednesday that investigators believed a woman had blown herself up in the siege.

During the raid, police took in eight people for questioning, five from inside the building in the northern St. Denis suburb and three from outside, including a man who said he was in charge of the property and is still being held.

Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey said there is no credible threat in the US of a Paris-type attack and no connection between the Paris attackers and the U.S. Still, he urged Americans to be vigilant and tell law enforcement about anything suspicious.
