Hunt For Supermarket Gunman's Girlfriend

Police are hunting for the girlfriend of one of the three gunmen who brought three days of terror to France, saying she may be "armed and dangerous".

Hayat Boumeddiene, a suspect in the murder of a Paris policewoman on Thursday, is on the run after her partner Amedy Coulibaly was killed when armed officers brought his kosher supermarket siege to a violent end.

The 26-year-old could hold the key to the ongoing terror investigation, as police admit they could be dealing with a larger extremist cell and al Qaeda threaten more attacks.

Details are emerging of the young woman of Algerian descent and the links between Coulibaly, 32, and the Kouachi brothers, who were killed two days after murdering 12 people at the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo

Boumeddiene and the wife of one of the brothers exchanged more than 500 phone calls in 2014, according to Paris prosecutor Francois Molins.

She reportedly started wearing a niqab in May 2009 after meeting Coulibaly and was sacked from her job as a cashier.

Later that year, they were married in a religious ceremony but were not wed under French law, which requires a civil ceremony.

According to French judicial documents, the couple travelled with Cherif Kouachi and his wife in 2010 to southern France to visit radical Islamist Djamel Beghal, who was under house arrest.

The pair posed for photos during the visit, taking selfies and a snap of Boumeddiene pointing a crossbow at the camera.

Interviewed that year by counter-terrorism officers over Coulibaly's involvement in an attempt to free Paris Metro bomber Smain Ait Ali Belkacem from jail, she was open about her fanatical views.

According to Le Nouvel Observateur, she refused to condemn al Qaeda attacks, preferring to criticise America's military interventions around the world and the Western media.

A police search of Coulibaly's residence in 2010 turned up a crossbow, 240 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition, films and photos of him during a trip to Malaysia, and letters seeking false official documents.

In a police interview that same year, Coulibaly identified Cherif Kouachi as a friend he had met in prison and said they saw each other frequently, according to a transcript of the interview obtained by the Journal du Dimanche newspaper.

According to the newspaper, he told the police that people he met in prison used the nickname "Dolly" for him.

He was employed as a temp worker at a Coca-Cola factory and reportedly met then-President Nicolas Sarkozy in 2009.

"I know a lot of criminals because I met heaps of them in detention," he is quoted as telling the police.

Michel Thooris, secretary-general of France's police union, said he did not believe the men behind the Paris attacks were "three people isolated in their little world."

"This could very well be a little cell," he said.

"There are probably more than three people," he added, given that Cherif Kouachi and Coulibaly had had contacts with other jihadist groups in the past.

French Prime Minister Manuel Valls, speaking in a TV interview late on Friday, also indicated authorities are bracing for the possibility of new attacks.

"We are facing a major challenge" and "very determined individuals," he said.

France Terror: Al Qaeda Threatens More Attacks

France Terror: Al Qaeda Threatens More Attacks

We use cookies to give you the best experience. If you do nothing we'll assume that it's ok.

By Ian Woods, Senior Correspondent, in Dammartin-en-Goele

Al Qaeda has threatened France with more terror attacks after 17 people were killed at Charlie Hebdo's offices and at a Jewish supermarket.

The warning came as President Francois Hollande admitted the threats "weren't over" and police hunting a female suspect suggested there could be a larger terrorist cell planning further atrocities.

A sharia official from al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), Harith al Nadhari, said in a video: "It is better for you to stop your aggression against the Muslims, so perhaps you will live safely.

"If you refuse but to wage war, then wait for the glad tiding."

Five hundred extra soldiers will be deployed to the greater Paris region, and the country remains on the highest state of alert.

Prime Minister Manuel Valls said France must "never lower our guard".

He said: "We are doing our best, our utmost in order to fight against terrorism but there is always ways for terrorism to slip in.

"We have to be really strong, really tough as far as the enemies of freedom are concerned."

Thousands have turned out for rallies across the country in the wake of the attacks, and march of unity is planned in Paris on Sunday.

Thousands Rally Across France After Attacks

Tens of thousands of people have staged rallies across France after three days of terror that claimed 17 lives.

At least 30,000 people took part in a silent rally in southern city of Pau and more than 22,000 gathered in Orleans, southwest of Paris, according to initial police figures.

Large crowds also turned out in the southern city of Nice and Caen, in the northwest.

It comes ahead of a march of unity in Paris on Sunday which is expected to draw huge crowds and will be attended by leaders from across the world, including Prime Minister David Cameron.

France's Interior Minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, has said the government will take "all measures" to ensure the march is safe.

The country's defence ministry has said it is sendign another 500 soldiers into the greater Paris area, meaning there are now some 1,350 troops there.

In a sombre speech after the sieges had been brought to an end, French President Francois Hollande said: "I call on all the French people to rise up this Sunday, together, to defend the values of democracy, freedom and pluralism to which we are attached."

Brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi attacked the offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo on Wednesday, shooting dead twelve people in France's deadliest terror attack in decades.

The pair then went on the run, and were eventually killed after after a two-day manhunt.

Amedy Coulibaly, a jihadist gunman who said he had worked with the brothers, was also killed by police after killing four hostages at a kosher grocery shop in an eastern suburb of Paris.

A day earlier he shot and killed a policewoman in Montrouge, just south of Paris.

Hayat Boumeddiene, 26, who was identified along with Coulibaly as a suspect in the killing of a police officer on Thursday, remains on the run.

Tributes To Muslim Officer Killed By Terrorists

Written By Unknown on Jumat, 09 Januari 2015 | 20.49

Thousands have paid tribute to a Muslim police officer who was killed as he pleaded for his life in the Paris magazine massacre.

Ahmed Merabet was wounded during a gunfight with terrorists outside the offices of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

A harrowing video showed the 42-year-old lying on the pavement before rolling over to face his attackers.

He is seen raising his hand, apparently pleading for mercy.

According to Le Parisien, Mr Merabet was heard saying: "Voulez-vous me tuer? (Do you want to kill me?)."

The gunman responded: "C'est bon chef (It's good chief)."

One of the two men quickens his pace as he reaches the injured officer and, without pausing, shoots him in the head.

Bloggers have picked up on the fact that Mr Merabet was a Muslim in an attempt to defend the community from a backlash to the attack.

The hashtag #JeSuisAhmed (I am Ahmed) - a play on Je Suis Charlie, the catchphrase spawned in the wake of the attack - has been tweeted more than 53,000 times in his memory.

One blogger, Dyab Abou Jahjah, wrote: "I am not Charlie, I am Ahmed the dead cop. Charlie ridiculed my faith and culture and I died defending his right to do so. #JesuisAhmed."

Another, who uses the Twitter handle Kidrauhl, said: "Who kills in the name of Allah is not Muslim is just a murderer who hides behind religion."

Mr Merabet had just been promoted to the Judicial Police, and was described by his union as "someone very discreet and conscientious".

He was one of two police officers killed in the bloodshed.

Police forces across Britain paid tribute to the pair by pausing "in solidarity and sympathy" on Thursday morning.

Eight journalists, a maintenance worker and a visitor were also killed in what was France's worst terror attack since 1961.

Paris Terror Suspects 'Ready To Die'

The Paris terror suspects are holed up at an industrial building near Charles de Gaulle airport with a hostage, and have told police they are ready to "die as martyrs".

One of the "heavily armed" Kouachi brothers turned up at the printing factory wearing black combat gear and a bulletproof vest and claimed to be a police officer. He then told a worker: "Get out of here, we don't kill civilians."

Helicopters are hovering overhead and armed police officers have flooded the area, surrounding Said and Cherif Kouachi. An army tank has been spotted nearby.

Residents of  Dammartin-en-Goele are being told to stay at home, switch off the lights, and stay away from their windows. Hundreds of people are sealed inside some local office buildings, while several schools have been evacuated.

There have been reports that two people have been killed, but Paris prosecutors insist there have been no deaths.

Police are now negotiating by phone with the two suspects, whose hostage is reported to be a 26-year-old man.

At least two planes have aborted landing attempts at the airport as the situation unfolds.

Meanwhile an armed man has taken hostages at a grocery store in eastern Paris, with some reports claiming it is the man responsible for yesterday's policewoman shooting.

Sky's Robert Nisbet said the Dammartin-en-Goele operation is complex and the police are moving at a deliberately slow pace.

"What we are sensing here is no panic, they are taking this very slowly indeed. This operation is complex, this is not something they want to rush."

The stand-off follows a car chase on the N2 motorway earlier in which gunshots were fired between the men and police as their stolen car headed towards Paris.

Three helicopters have been hovering near the factory, close to the country's busiest airport.

A close-up image of one of the helicopters shows armed police sitting at the vehicle's open door with heavy weaponry ready.

'Shots Fired' In Paris Suspects 'Robbery'

'Shots Fired' In Paris Suspects 'Robbery'

We use cookies to give you the best experience. If you do nothing we'll assume that it's ok.

The two suspects in the Charlie Hebdo magazine attack have fired shots while robbing a petrol station in northern France, according to French media.

A massive manhunt is under way for the gunmen who killed 12 people in an assault at the magazine's Paris offices on Wednesday.

AFP reported that two men fitting the description of brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi stole petrol and food from the station near Villers-Cotterets in the northern Aisne region, east of Paris, this morning.

Le Parisien said men, aged 34 and 32, wearing balaclavas were travelling on the N2 road in the direction of Paris in a Renault Clio which had weapons on its back seat and its number plates covered.

AFP said they were described as "masked, with Kalashnikovs" and what appeared to be a rocket-launcher.

Sky's Joey Jones, who is at the cordoned off location, said it would appear the pair are "a step or two ahead" of the authorities at the moment.

Jones added: "The indications at the moment suggest that they (police) are finding it difficult to get a grip on this fast-moving situation.

"Each time we arrive at an area where they have been sighted or there is some sort of suspicion of significant police activity, you get the feeling that things have moved on.

"This is such a fast moving situation, who knows where it will end up."

Police barriers have been set up on local roads in Aisne and residents reported that a police helicopter was flying overhead.

UK's Borders Tightened After Paris Attacks

Security at ports and train stations that act as a border into the UK has been tightened up in the wake of the attack on a magazine in Paris, the government has said.

The Prime Minister's spokesman told journalists that there had been no change to the UK's terrorism threat level but the government had decided to take extra measures.

Sky sources said a visible extra security presence was expected to be in place both at British and French ports and stations which serve destinations in the UK.

It is believed that passengers using stations serving Eurostar and Le Shuttle and ports that serve ferries to and from France will be among those affected.

Passengers, cars and freight trains at places like Calais and the Gard du Nord in Paris could be subject to extra checks.

The sources said that the decision to boost security was not based on any specific intelligence, but rather was "an appropriate" response to the events on Wednesday that left 12 people dead after an attack on a French satirical magazine.

The current threat level remains at severe, the Home Office said.

The sources added that there was no evidence of a link between Britain and the attacks in France, or indeed the suspects and Britain.

There has also been no intelligence to suggest that any copy cat type attacks may happen in the UK.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) are in the process of updating advice to British travellers to France.

Earlier, the FCO described Wednesday's attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris and the latest in Montrouge on its website and told visitors: "You should take extra care at this time and follow the security advice issued by the French authorities."

The department said an additional counter terrism officer from the Metropolitan Police will be based at the British Embassy in Paris.

It is emerged that on Wednesday, Mr Cameron, German chancellor Angela Merkel and French president Francois Hollande had a joint phone call.

The British and German leaders expressed their condolences and offered assistance to their French counterpart.

Earlier, Mrs Merkel and the Prime Minister had been given a joint briefing by British intelligence services - a move that Downing Street described as unusual.

Meanwhile, an extract of a speech that the Director General of MI5 is due to give tonight has been released.

In it, he says: "It is too early for us to come to judgements about the precise details or origin of the attack but it is a terrible reminder of the intentions of those who wish to do us harm.

"As you would expect, we are offering our French colleagues our full support as they respond."
