The suspected ringleader of the Paris attacks, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, was among those killed in a French police raid on Wednesday, prosecutors say.

They confirmed the Islamic State (IS) militant had died in a flat in the Paris suburb of Saint Denis.

His body was found riddled with bullets and shrapnel in the apartment.

Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said he had received intelligence that Abaaoud passed through Greece on his return from Syria.

It is unclear whether the Belgian had concealed himself among the thousands of migrants arriving in Greece before heading for other EU nations.

In another development, nine arrests were made in Belgium after searches in connection with Friday's attacks.

Confirming Abaaoud left for Syria last year, Mr Cazeneuve said no EU states had signalled his return.

Friday's gun and suicide bomb attacks in the French capital left 129 people dead and hundreds injured.

Eight people were arrested and at least two killed in the raid on the property in Saint Denis. Heavily armed police stormed the building after a tip-off that Abaaoud was in Paris.

A woman at the flat - reported in French media to be Abaaoud's cousin - died during the raid after activating a suicide vest.

Thoughts go out to the peoples families tonight. There are so many assholes out there that don't deserve to be on this planet!

EDIT : Managed to see a video from Paris that showed people wounded and possible dead people on the ground. There was so much blood and fear. This video makes me think more about the families and all the people there right now!

The video has been removed also.

A live stream of the unfolding events here, including reports of more gun attacks. Very difficult to keep the original post up to date with fast flowing information

Up to 60 people have been killed and the President has declared a State of Emergency.

Yep borders are closed now and in a state of emergency.

Really upsetting hearing about this, RIP to all who have been killed.
