French media have cast doubt on the possibility that the female cousin of the presumed ringleader of the Paris attacks blew herself up in Wednesday’s police raid in the Saint-Denis suburb.

Police sources now say that the suicide bomber was in fact a man, not 26-year-old Hasna Ait Boulahcen.

Her cousin, alleged ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud is also confirmed to have died in the raid.

A third body was also found which is still being identified.

Also on Friday, prosecutors said that a second suicide bomber from the Stade de France attack passed through Greece on his way to France.
