Darkness seems to have engulfed 26-year-old Hayat Boumedienne, the companion-accomplice of Amedy Coulibaly, the Montrouge killer barricaded in the kosher shop in the south of Paris who instead was captured and killed after the blitz by the special police forces yesterday afternoon.
Authorities have already launched an appeal to find her even though the search started after the shooting in Montrouge on Thursday morning, when Coulibaly killed a policewoman. According to Le Monde, the woman would not have participated yesterday in the terrorist action in Vincennes, where Coulibaly would instead be joined by another man. But the details of the terrible event that enveloped Paris in an atmosphere of terror are still to be clarified after the excitement of the first moments following the double blitz with which the two killers of Charlie Hebdo and Coulibaly were killed.
French Prime Minister Manuel Valls today admitted "mistakes" in the management of the bloody affair that began three days ago with the massacre of the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo - 12 dead - and ended yesterday with the double blitz in which the jihadist brothers Kouachi, alleged bombers, died , and Amady Coulibaly, who took several people hostage in a Jewish supermarket. In the action against Coulibaly the bodies of four hostages and four seriously injured were found.
"When there are 17 dead, then there have been mistakes," Valls admitted speaking on television. "We can still suffer these attacks," the head of government told TF1. France, he added, "faced an unprecedented challenge today".
