Dar al-Islam, an ISIS-run magazine, has published an interview with a subject it claims is the widow of Amedy Coulibaly, the man who attacked a Jewish supermarket in Paris last month.

Hayat Boumeddiene, 26, is believed to have fled France after the attack, and the magazine suggests she is in Syria. In the interview, "Boumeddiene" praised ISIS and its self-proclaimed caliphate. She also said that Coulibaly "rejoiced greatly" when ISIS proclaimed its caliphate and encouraged Muslim women to "be strong supports behind their husbands, brothers, fathers, and sons."
