French police are on the hunt for the 26-year-old burqa-wearing, crossbow-shooting wife of kosher-grocery-store shooter and cop killer Amedy Coulibaly.
A man identified as Amedy Coulibaly, who took hostages at a kosher supermarket on Friday and killed a policewoman a day earlier, claimed to be a member of the terror outfit -- Islamic State -- in a video that was released on the Internet on Sunday.
The suspected female accomplice of Amedy Coulibaly, the man behind the shooting at a Jewish supermarket in Paris, is believed to have left France last week to travel to Syria via Turkey, said sources.
Hours after Paris police cornered two gunmen, who were responsible for the Charlie Hebdo killings, at a printing press in Dammartin-en-Goele, two other gunmen took 5 people hostage at a kosher grocery store in Porte de Vincennes, eastern Paris.
France is on high alert after officials said that other members of a terror cell may still be at large after last week's attacks in Paris on the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and a supermarket.
After the Charlie Hebdo shootings earle this year, France has been continuously hit by terrorists.
