Ahlul Bayt News Agency - Amédy Coulibaly, the attacker who carried out a massacre in a Parisian kosher supermarket January 9, seems to have "received instructions from abroad," according to the Paris prosecutor François Molins.
"We are facing radicals that act with discretion," he said, referring to French [fake] jihadists, in an interview published Tuesday in the daily Le Figaro.
"These individuals appear to be acting alone, but when you dig deeper, you realize that they are acting on behalf of terrorist groups, matching slogans given by Daesh [Arabic acronym of the jihadist group" Islamic State] or the al-Nusra Front," Molins added.
Sid Ahmed Ghlam, a 24-year-old Algerian suspected of planning an attack on a church near Paris in late April "was guided from the Iraq-Syria area," he recalled.
"According to all theories currently being checked, Coulibaly also received instructions from abroad," the prosecutor added, without specifying where the command could have originated.
Coulibaly was killed by police on Friday after seizing a Jewish supermarket in Paris where he shot four hostages dead. A day earlier he killed a policewoman in Montrouge, south of the capital.
