Hasna Aitboulahcen, the woman found dead after a ferocious police assault on an apartment building targeting the suspected ringleader of the Paris attacks, did not die in a suicide bombing, a police source said today.

Prosecutors said on the day of Wednesday's raid in Saint-Denis in the north of the capital that a woman had detonated an explosives vest and died.

The police source said that the suicide bomber was in fact a man, not a woman.
