Authorities in France are searching for the widow of a man responsible for one of the recent attacks in France.
According to the Associated Press, French police say that 26-year-old Hayat Boumeddiene is possibly armed and dangerous. Boumeddiene married Amedy Coulibaly, 32, in July 2009. The Associated Press adds that Boumeddiene is a person of interest due to her ties to Islamic radicals:
Boumeddiene has never been convicted of a crime, officials said, but judicial records obtained by The Associated Press say she was very close to Islamic radicals known to French internal security services, and once posed for a photo in her Islamic veil and holding a crossbow.
The records show that she was also once interrogated by French officials about her reaction to terrorist acts committed by al-Qaida.
Coulibaly was killed yesterday after taking hostages at a kosher market in Paris. French officials say that Coulibaly killed four hostages at the market. That happened around the same time that brothers Said and Cherif Kouchai, two of the three suspects in the Charlie Hebdo shooting, were also killed in a shootout with police.
