PARIS (AP) — Paris Prosecutor Francois Molins says a terror cell neutralized in a massive police raid was ready to act.

Molins told reporters the police assault in Saint-Denis north of Paris on Wednesday was connected with the terror attacks Friday in the capital against a concert hall, nightspots and the national soccer stadium.

Two people were killed in the siege, including a woman who blew herself up, and seven others were arrested.
