The woman suicide bomber who blew herself up during a police raid at a Paris apartment on Wednesday shouted "Help me! Help me!" in her final moments, perhaps to lure policemen, media reported.

According to witnesses, the woman suicide bomber, who was one of the at least two terror suspects to die during the raid in Paris's Saint-Denis suburb, shouted "Help me! Help me!" to police as they encircled the flat, The Telegraph reported.

Hasna Aitboulahcn is said to be the cousin of Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the IS mastermind of Friday's terror attacks, killing 129 people and injuring over 350, the report added.

According to witnesses, she shouted to police from a window, perhaps to lure police inside.
