Authorities have said that Boumeddiene is an accomplice of husband Amedy Coulibaly, who was killed when French security forces carried out a raid on the supermarket. Coulibaly's attack was linked to that of Said and Cherif Kouachi, brothers who murdered 12 people at satirical publication Charlie Hebdo's offices on Wednesday.
