French media profiles Hayat Boumeddiene, 26, the wife-accomplice of Amedy Coulibaly who carried out the attack on a Kosher supermarket in Paris yesterday. She is currently the most wanted woman in France.
Itele speaks to a neighbor of Boumeddiene and Coulibaly, who describes them as “not mean” and rather polite. The neighbor, identified by the first name Cyril, says the woman was completely covered from head to toe.

The network also publishes photos of Boumedienne, one with Coulibaly, and several of her brandishing weapons.
Boumedienne, according to the network, also did not leave much of an online footprint and information about her on the internet was hard to come by.

The photos contrast with the mugshot of her sent out by police in which her face is fully visible and she appears sleepy-eyed.

Security officials say Boumeddiene is likely armed, and is most probably planning to carry out another attack
