A week before Amedy Coulibaly killed a French policewoman and then four hostages at a Parisian kosher supermarket, he rented a cottage in Gentilly, a town south of Paris. When police raided the safe house after the attacks (and Coulibaly's death), they found an arsenal of recent-vintage assault rifles, grenade launchers, and explosives, The Associated Press reports. And according to France's Le Parisien, they also seized a scooter that allowed them to identify "the fourth man," Coulibaly's accomplice.
Le Parisien did not give a name for this alleged accomplice, but said he has a long rap sheet, possibly shot and seriously wounded a jogger in Fontenay-aux-Roses on Jan. 7, may have been involved in the kosher-market attack, and might have escaped to Syria, where Coulibaly widow Hayat Boumeddiene is also believed to be hiding.
