Terrorist's chilling words to hostages at Paris kosher supermarket revealed

Amedy Coulibaly, the terrorist who killed four Jewish men and held more than a dozen people hostage at a kosher supermarket in Paris a year ago, told customers at the store that he had “come to die a martyr,” according to the BBC’s new documentary Three Days of Terror.

“You really don’t get it, I’ve come to die a martyr,” Coulibaly told a young woman, one of the 15 people held hostage at the site.

“To avenge the name of Allah and his Prophet Muhammad.”

Coulibaly’s attack came two days after brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi killed 12 people in an attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices.
