Third body found at site of Paris police raid: Prosecutors
Abaaoud was also killed in the dramatic raid in the neighborhood of Saint-Denis north of Paris’ city center.
Though the woman was found in the flat in Saint-Denis along with Abdelhamid Abaaoud, where she subsequently detonated her suicide belt, it is now unknown what involvement she had in the Paris attacks or if you she was just involved in the planned attack on the Charles de Gaulle airport and shopping center that police say was thwarted by the Saint-Denis raid.
“Where is your boyfriend? Where is he?” shouts a police officer and a high-pitched voice can be heard shouting back “He’s not my boyfriend”.
Ait Boulahcen’s head and spine flew through a window in yesterday’s anti-terror police gun battle as the suicide bomber screamed, ‘help me, help me!’ and ‘I’m not his girlfriend!’, before detonating her explosive vest.
Born in August 1989, Hasna Ait Boulahcen had a turbulent childhood, part of which she spent in a foster home.
Her brother said she had suddenly become radicalised about six months ago and began wearing a full-faced veil or niqab.
“She was living in her own world. She was not interested in studying her religion”, he said in a statement.
“The whole neighbourhood is completely cordoned off by police”.
The source close to the investigation said a raid was under way at her mother’s house in Aulnay-sous-Bois, a town northeast of Paris.
“She chose to go and live with a friend in Drancy”.
For Sofiane, a neighbour in Aulnay-sous-Bois, Boulahcen had “the gift of the gab” but was also “a bit crazy”. It has cropped up in the investigation as the home of former bus driver Samy Amimour who blew himself up at a concert hall where he and two others killed 89 people.
In Creutzwald, the eastern French town where her father lives and where she visited frequently until a few years ago, people have clear memories of her.
