French police hunt terror gunman’s girlfriend, say she may be ‘armed and dangerous’

Police are hunting for the girlfriend of one of the three gunmen who unleashed a three-day terror on France last week, saying she may be “armed and dangerous”.

26-year-old Hayat Boumeddiene, a suspect in the murder of a Paris policewoman on Thursday (January 8); according to French police could hold the key to the ongoing terror investigation, as they fear they could be dealing with a larger extremist cell.

Bounmeddiene, of Algerian descent, is on the run after her partner Amedy Coulibaly was killed when armed officers brought his kosher (eastern Paris) supermarket siege to a violent end.

Police suspect she might have had a hand in Coulibaly’s supermarket hostage-taking, though she was not identified among the dead or wounded.
