Hasna Ait Boulahcen, cousin of Paris attacks mastermind DID NOT blow herself up

The body of a woman found after a police raid on an ISIS safehouse in Paris has been identified as Europe's first female suicide bomber Hasna Aitboulahcen. Paris prosecutors said 'more human parts' were found around the Saint Denis house which was attacked in a counter-terrorism operation on Wednesday. Her corpse was one of three found at the scene after police fought a fierce gun battle with the Paris attackers including mastermind Abdelhamid Abaaoud who was shot dead by a sniper. Attempts are also being made to identify the decimated remains of a third body, which is 'believed to be that of a man', according to a source close to the investigation.
