MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – From the French police arresting seven and killing two suspects in the November 13 terrorist attacks to Minneapolis fire and police departments offering up free turkey to Minnesota families in need, here's a look at the top four stories from Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2015.

French Police Raid Targets Alleged Bomber

French authorities think they may have stopped another big attack.

SWAT Teams stormed an apartment building Tuesday night in a suburb of Paris in hopes to find the mastermind of last week's attacks that left 129 people dead.

In a span of several hours, two suspected terrorists were killed, one by her own accord, and seven others were taken into custody.

It's still unclear if the mastermind was inside that apartment or not.

Two Air France Flights Diverted

Anonymous threats forced two planes heading for Paris from the U.S. to be diverted.

One plane that left from Los Angeles had to land in Salt Lake City Utah. The other took off from just outside of Washington and landed in Halifax on Canada's east coast.

It's not clear if either plane has been searched or anything has been found.
