The suspected mastermind of the Paris attacks, Belgian Abdelhamid Abaaoud, was the target of a dawn raid by police in the north of the city, a police source said.

It was not clear if the 28-year-old member of the Islamic State jihadist group was one of two to four people thought to be inside the apartment in Saint Denis that police swooped on.
