RTL radio in France reported that the 27-year-old is “one of the most active Isis executioners” in Syria.
The beaming picture of him which has been widely circulated was taken from a video in which he was transporting mutilated bodies to a mass grave.
In an interview with ISIS propaganda magazine Dabiq, he said Allah had chosen him for a mission to "terrorise the crusaders who bring war to Muslims", RTBF reported.
It has been reported that Abaaoud had links to thwarted attacks on a Paris-bound high-speed train in which heavily armed Ayoub El Khazzani was overpowered by three American friends, two of them soldiers, in August.
Charlie Winter, a security analyst specialising in ISIS, told The Independent Abaaoud’s profile would fit that of someone capable of planning the massacres in Paris.
“He’s exactly the kind of people you would expect to plan something like this,” he said.

He was named by Belgian police as being linked to a cell in the town of Verviers, where police shot dead three militants in January.
They were planning to kill Belgian police officers days after the Charlie Hebdo massacre in an attack police believe was masterminded by Abaaoud.

Abaaoud travelled out to Syria in 2013 and was followed by his brother Younes, who was then 13.
Belgian newspapers have reported they are both the sons of a man named Omar, a shopkeeper who moved to the country from Morocco 40 years ago.
