forensic experts are going through that building with a fine tooth comb. there is evidence there. there was fear that there were explosives or booby traps that happily did not seem to be the case. as you noted, it was a big haul for this operation. two terror suspects killed, as you noted. one using a suicide vest, another terror suspect injured in the hustle. seven have been detained. we understand five police officers were also killed in a fuse lad of fire that happened from 4:20 a.m. paris time up until 7:00 in the morning. saint-denis, a suburban area on the outskirts of paris. everybody evacuated immediately around the area. everybody else told to stay inside. the cordon is still in place. yes, some more details. the thinking perhaps was that the mastermind of the friday night paris attacks was actually
there. we ve been talking about abaaoud being in raqqah, syria for the past couple of days. it turns out as you say, not there. but there are indications that he was there. what was also important with this operation as you also noted, another attack on paris could have been thwarted by this raid on the area of paris on the western side of the city. a big skyscraper area. a lot of corporate headquarters. an attack on the french business community would have had a real huge impact as well. the traces leading the police to this area, yes. cell phones. it s incredible as you read those details. the cell phones on the seven some of the seven dead attackers since friday night. from time to time, guys, i got to tell you, sometimes these people seem like the terrorists that couldn t shoot straight. they rented cars using their own names. they left cars around.
zone tactics being used general mcchrystal talked about this, a comprehensive effort from the fbi, cia and police seems to have this unit if something was happening in a major city that needs coordinates and details that could help us in a war zone, these guys are tied right to the war zone, they take their guns and ak-47s into the city. do you think there s a holistic effort that still exists that petraeus had going? that was something they had going in iraq and afghanistan realtime evidence being turned into immediate raids. we feel like that s happening between paris right now and raqqah, i fear not. there s a few minor moments where maybe it s happened. we ve seen a few raids here and there. but that infrastructure has largely been dismantled. if you don t have the ability the ground and the intelligence on the ground, you can t act on actionable intelligence. sure. of course that s all over there. the worry is that isis has imported this terror here. yeah. and they re
we re thinking about them. women, gentlemen who have been killed, traumatized. we re thinking about their families. mourning in an incredible mourning. this terrorist attack have brought blood in paris but it involves every french citizen, wherever they live. because, this is the entire country that has been attacked. because of what the country represents. the values, the combat that is leading to eradicate terrorism. and simply because of what we are. what the terrorists wanted to aim is the idea of france. what is it representing?
theoretically wanted to. we found out that during a moment of silence in another soccer game between greece and turkey, which is huge for that region, there was silence for some and and also chants heard. a moment of silence for those who lost their lives in paris and chantsing of allah akbar. i think we have a little bit of problem in the region. i think we have a little bit of the sound. let s listen. disturbing. that s a heck of a moment of silence. screen left. what we just saw that assemblage of men in suits. we understand as we look at these live pictures, these are some of the mayors of some of the communities throughout the paris area. they re making a show of strength to reassure the residents.
