France seeks EU security aid launches new airstrikes on IS
Parts of her mangled body were blown onto a police auto parked outside the apartment where she and nine others, including Abaaoud, engaged in an hours-long standoff.
Abdelhamid Abaaoud was killed in a gun battle on Wednesday when police raided a house in a Paris suburb where he was holed up.
Also on Friday, Prime Minister Manuel Valls announced that one more person had died from last Friday's attacks in Paris.
Prosecutor Francois Molins said Wednesday that the raid in Saint-Denis had stopped a "new team of terrorists" who were ready to launch another attack in a city still mourning 129 dead.
The identity of the woman, whose body was unearthed from rubble produced by a series of explosions, has yet to be revealed.
Note: Speaking during a joint session of parliament, Hollande said the French constitution needed to be amended, as "we need an appropriate tool we can use without having to resort to the state of emergency". "I say this with all the precautions needed, but we know and we bear in mind that there could be a risk of chemical and biological weapons".
But on Monday, the French received a tip-off from the intelligence agency of a non-European country that Abaaoud - who had previously boasted of moving between Belgium and Syria unhindered - had managed to cross back into the European Union through Greece. A state of emergency has been enforced to allow authorities time to track down other potential suspects. Seven assailants died in the attack and a suspected eighth is still on the run. Also killed in the raid was a woman who opened fire on police and then detonated a suicide vest. Brahim blew himself up outside a bar in the bustling Boulevard Voltaire, while police are still hunting his sibling.
The bill would require new Federal Bureau of Investigation background checks and individual sign-offs from three high-ranking USA officials before any refugee could come to the US from Iraq or Syria, where the Islamic State group that has claimed credit for the attacks has flourished.
"There is an opening, so to speak, with the Russians".
USA intelligence meanwhile published a report showing it warned in May that IS was capable of carrying out the kind of large-scale coordinated attacks seen in Paris.
French investigators tracked down the alleged ringleader of last week's Paris bloodshed after receiving a startling tipoff: The Islamic militant wasn't in Syria but in Europe, plotting yet another attack. An official in the Belgian federal prosecutor's office said the raids targeted people in Hadfi's "entourage".
Valls did not say there was a specific threat against France involving such weapons, however.
Hundreds also were wounded by the attackers, many severely.
