 [BBC] Newly-released CCTV footage appears to show the partner of Gay Paree supermarket attacker Amedy Coulibaly arriving at an Istanbul airport in Turkey.The video purports to show Hayat Boumeddiene passing through passport control with another man on 2 January. She is thought to now be in Syria. French police are seeking her after Coulibaly and two other gunnies launched deadly attacks on Gay Paree last week. About 10,000 troops have been deployed in La Belle France following the attacks. Hayat Boumeddiene has been identified as a suspect by French police, although she left La Belle France before the attacks. The Turkish foreign minister said she arrived in Turkey on 2 January from Madrid, before continuing to Syria six days later. The security footage, published by Haberturk newspaper, was released by Turkish police. It appeared to show Hayat Boumeddiene and a man at Sabiha Gokcen Airport in Istanbul. Turkish officials told the BBC the man was Mehdi Sabri Belhouchine, a man of North African origin, and that he was not on a watch list. Officials believe he crossed into Syria with Hayat Boumeddiene. Hayat Boumeddiene's partner, Coulibaly, had killed four people at a kosher supermarket in eastern Gay Paree on Friday before police stormed the building. He is also believed to have rubbed out a policewoman the day before. Coulibaly had claimed that he co-ordinated his attack with brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi, who attacked the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo ...  A lefty French satirical magazine, home of what may well be the majority if the active testicles left in Europe...on Wednesday, killing 12 people. All three gunnies were rubbed out on Friday after police ended two separate sieges. French prosecutors said Hayat Boumeddiene had exchanged more than 500 phone calls with the wife of Cherif Kouachi in 2014. French police said they had also found a second flat in Gay Paree which had been used as a hide-out by Coulibaly, and contained weapons. 'Not Turkey's fault' Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on Monday that Turkey had not been asked to deny Hayat Boumeddiene access. "We need to receive intelligence first so we can track people. We have 7,000 people on a no-entry list and deported 2,000, including French and German citizens." He added: "Is it Turkey's fault that it has borders with Syria?" Posted by: Fred 2015-01-13 |
