The mastermind of the Paris terrorist attacks that left over 120 people dead was killed during a police raid on Wednesday (Nov. 18). The exact cause of Abdelhamid Abaaoud’s death is still being determined.

Reports the New York Times:

Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the Belgian militant suspected of orchestrating the Paris terrorist attacks, was killed in a police raid in the northern Paris suburb of St.-Denis early Wednesday, the French authorities announced on Thursday.

The confirmation of Mr. Abaaoud’s death followed fingerprint analysis, the Paris prosecutor, François Molins, said in a statement. His body was heavily riddled with wounds from gunfire and a grenade detonation during the raid. “We do not know at this stage whether Abaaoud blew himself up or not,” the prosecutor’s office added.

However he went, good riddance.
