A French official has named the suspected mastermind behind the Paris attacks as a Belgian man called Abdelhamid Abaaoud. He was reportedly involved in previously thwarted train and church attacks. RTL radio in France reported that the 27-year-old is "one of the most active Isis executioners" in Syria. He is said to be from the Molenbeek district of Brussels, which has seen multiple police raids since eight suicide bombers armed with assault rifles killed at least 129 people in Paris on Friday night. Abaaoud allegedly oversaw the attack and funded it. He was suspected of planning a series of foiled terror attacks in Belgium and his phone was traced to Greece.
