Paris, Nov 18 (IBNS) Days after multiple attacks killed at least 129 people, at least three suspected militants have been killed as French police and soldiers surrounded a building and engaged themselves in a heavy exchange of fire with a group holed up inside in it on Wednesday.

A woman who detonated a suicide bomb as gunfire and explosions kept rocking the Paris suburbs for the past few hours.

Local media reports said, two suspected terrorists are believed to be inside the building.

Five people have been arrested so far.

The  target of the raid was Islamic State militant Abedelhamid Abaaoud, who was initially thought to have masterminded the  Paris attacks from Syria.

The operation came five days after the deadly terror attacks in Paris that killed 129 people.

The area was closed down and intermittent gunfire could still be heard.

French police officials have asked local residents not to leave their homes.
