Police Located Terrorists in Paris After Tapping Suicide Bomber's Phone

The hideout of terrorists linked to the Paris attacks was located after French police tapped the phone of a female suicide bomber, who blew herself up during an anti-terrorist operation in the northern Paris suburb of Saint-Denis, local media reported Thursday.

BRUSSELS (Sputnik) — Hasna Aitboulahcen, 26, an alleged cousin of the suspected organizer of the Paris attacks, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, detonated an explosive belt, killing only herself, in a third-floor apartment in Saint-Denis early on Wednesday.

Aitboulahcen's phone was tapped as she was suspected of links to extremists, according to the Franch RTBF broadcaster.

On November 13, a series of coordinated attacks at various locations in the French capital left 129 dead and over 300 injured.
