PARIS // A French police dog named Diesel was killed Wednesday during a shoot-out with jihadists holed up in a Paris apartment, while five officers were lightly wounded, police said.
“Diesel, a seven-year-old Belgian Shepherd, female assault dog … was killed by terrorists during the operation,” according to the Twitter account of France’s police.
“Assault and explosives detection dogs are vital in the operations of RAID”, the specialist anti-terrorist unit in the French police that launched the dawn assault.
Two suspected jihadists were killed during the raid, which saw automatic gunfire and explosions ring through the working-class suburb from 4am.
One of them was a woman who detonated an explosives vest.
Seven other people were arrested.
The operation comes as part of a countrywide manhunt to find any links to the devastating string of attacks in Paris on Friday night that left 129 dead and hundreds injured.

What is dialysis?
Dialysis is a way of cleaning your blood when your kidneys fail and can no longer do the job.
It gets rid of your body's wastes, extra salt and water, and helps to control your blood pressure. The main cause of kidney failure is diabetes and hypertension.
There are two kinds of dialysis — haemodialysis and peritoneal.
In haemodialysis, blood is pumped out of your body to an artificial kidney machine that filter your blood and returns it to your body by tubes.
In peritoneal dialysis, the inside lining of your own belly acts as a natural filter. Wastes are taken out by means of a cleansing fluid which is washed in and out of your belly in cycles.
It isn’t an option for everyone but if eligible, can be done at home by the patient or caregiver. This, as opposed to home haemodialysis, is covered by insurance in the UAE.
