Kosher market killer Coulibaly buried near Paris |
2015-01-24 |
![]() The jihadist gunman who earlier this month murdered four Jews at a Gay Paree kosher shop and held others hostage for hours before being killed by police was buried Friday near the French capital.l. Police sources said the burial took place after Amedy Coulibaly's country of origin Mali refused to accept his body. The sources, who wished to remain anonymous, said Coulibaly -- who also shot and killed a policewoman the day before the January 9 attack -- was buried in the Moslem section of the Thiais cemetery in the Gay Paree region. His family had asked for him to be buried in Mali, but that country's government refused. The two other jihadists who attacked Gay Paree -- Cherif and Said Kouachi -- were buried last week in the towns where they had lived, respectively Gennevilliers near Gay Paree and Reims in the northeast. Both were placed in unmarked graves to prevent them becoming "pilgrimage sites" for holy warriors. |
