Abdelhamid Abaaoud, identified by investigators as the suspected mastermind of the 2015 Paris attacks, was linked to the Bataclan siege through digital evidence. Following the attacks, investigators discovered mobile phone records that placed him in the vicinity of the theatre during the time the hostage crisis was occurring.1

Additionally, Abaaoud had established connections with several of the Paris attackers while in the Molenbeek commune of Brussels. His involvement in the broader plot was further evidenced by the discovery of his fingerprints on an AK-47 assault rifle found inside a getaway car used by the attackers. Abaaoud was later killed during a police raid in Saint-Denis on November 18, 2015.1
