Landlord flat knew of terrorists

The landlord of the Paris apartment where three people were slain in a police raid, must have known that he helped terrorism suspects.

The French police were on November 18 in a seven-hour firefight with people engaged in an apartment in the Saint Denis area north of Paris. That was a few days after the coordinated attacks by Islamic militants in Paris, where 130 people were slain.

" He can not possibly not have been aware that he was participating in a terrorist organization ", said prosecutor Francois Molins at a press conference. He said he would ask a judge for a formal investigation into the role of landlord, Jawad Bendaoud.
