Hayat Boumedienne, believed now to be on the run in Syria, was the more radical of the two, according to George Sauveur, who was for nearly a decade the attorney for her boyfriend, terrorist Amedy Coulibaly, killed at the kosher supermarket in Paris after he slaughtered four innocent Jewish men.
In 2010, in a call recorded by French intelligence, Sauveur says, she complained that Coulibaly is “not a serious man … he only thinks about having fun.”
A few years later, that had clearly changed, as the couple wreaked havoc on a nation still struggling to recover.

Eight months ago Coulibaly was released from his latest stint in prison, radicalized and back in the arms of his even more radical girlfriend, who remains wanted and is presumed armed and dangerous.
Coulibaly’s lawyer suggests that a series of arrests of extremists in detention may have hastened the Coulibaly-Kouachi terrorist plot, for fear they might be arrested next.
