This is the first picture of a woman suicide bomber who blew herself
up wearing an explosive vest during an armed stand-off with police -
local media have reported. Hasna Ait Boulahcen, 26, detonated the device during a six-hour armed siege in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis yesterday.
She
is believed to be the cousin of Abdelhami Abaaoud - the mastermind of
Friday's terror attacks - who is also believed to have died in the
stand-off after being shot by a police sniper.
Newspapers in
France and Belgium, as well as German newspaper Bild are reporting the
picture - showing a woman making an obscene gesture to the camera - is
Ait Boulahcen.
Witnesses described her shouting "Help me! Help me!" before the device was detonated.
