Paris attacks mastermind Abdelhamid Abaaoud, suspect Salah Abdeslam and a man believed to be the “ninth attacker” are holed up in a Saint-Denis apartment, The Guardian reported.

Three men have been cornered in the building and were exchanging gunfire with French commandos Wednesday morning.

There was no official confirmation that Mr. Abaaoud, Mr. Abdeslam and the unknown man seen on a video driving the attackers last week were those three men. But French authorities were acting as if they expected that to be the case.
