IS magazine publishes Boumedienne interview

A magazine identified with Islamic State and published in French has published an “exclusive interview” with Hayat Boumedienne, wife of the terrorist Amedy Coulibaly who killed four Jews in the Hyper Cacher market in Paris last month.

Boumedienne traveled to Turkey several days before the terror attack and presumably continued on to IS-held territory in Syria.

In the magazine, which shows on its cover a French soldier guarding the Eiffel tower and has the text “Qu’Allah maudisse la France” (May Allah curse France), there are few pictures to support the claim that Boumedienne is indeed in Syria, but the magazine does feature what it claims is a two-page interview with the female terrorist.

In it, Boumedienne says she felt relief when she arrived in a country where the rules are the rules of Allah. She also speaks of Coulibaly’s desires to join his “brothers” fighting the enemies of the “Islamic caliphate.”

“His eyes would shine every time he saw IS videos,” Boumedienne said. She said that “everyone” should study the life of the prophet Muhmmad and praise Allah, and called on more women to follow in her example and join IS.
