Paris attacks: Police in deadly swoop on apartment in northern suburb
36 minutes ago


Armed police have raided a flat in the north Paris suburb of Saint Denis in an operation linked to Friday's attacks.

A female suspect blew herself up with a suicide belt and some reports suggest two suspects died. Loud gunfire was heard as police met fierce resistance in the operation, which is continuing. Five people have also been arrested.

Roads have been blocked off around Rue de la Republique in Saint Denis, in the same district as the Stade de France where suicide attackers detonated bombs on Friday.
