his accomplice hayat boumeddiene on the run.friday with shoppers preparing for the jewish sabbath, witnesses described a terrifying scene. >> translator: we heard someone scream in french i think, then in arabic. that was followed by the arrival of police officers and they started to get down hide behind cars and they started exchanging fire. >> reporter: a western intelligence source says ahmedy was a close source of cherif the younger brother since 2010. their association since is unclear. just one of the mysteries from a violent three days here in the city. >> let's go ahead and connect with our team on the ground there in france. we're zbroind outside the kosher market in paris and jim biddeman is there. both of you were invaluable yesterday as this all unfolded. let's begin with you. let's talk about what was really unique about that attack. president francoise hollande called it anti-semetic. what can you tell us? >> reporter: yeah absolutely. we heard french president francois hollande saying it was an anti-semetic attack

coulibaly's partner, his girlfriend hayat boumeddiene, she is on the run. french prime minister says the territory terrorists could not have done this without help. specifically financial help. operational help. could there still be members of that group still operating here in france right now and most importantly and could they still be a threat? this as investigators try to connect all of the threads. the western intelligence source the kouachis and coulibaly have now been directly connected to al qaeda's top recruiter in europe. that is a man in and out of french custody. both coulibaly and kouachis appear to have met specifically with this man. let's bring in erin mclaughlin in our paris bureau. she has been looking at these threads in the investigation. good morning, erin. >> reporter: good morning, john. that is right. french prime minister saying the priority of the government right now looking for any accomplices to last week's terror attacks. he noted they already made arrests last week. the priority very much being dismantling what seems to be a

what is the latest you hear about hayat boumeddiene? >> indeed as you mentioned hayat boumeddiene likely crossed into turkey, and it is assumed that she went to syria and has long gone. that is a matter of some distress for french authorities that she may have left the country as early as 2nd of this month because she is a very important intelligence gift for them. she is the common law wife of the hostage taker that took over the market and they want to talk to her and see what she nose. when he took over the market hayat boumeddiene, there was telephone contact with a television station. it was left off the hook. some of the conversation as he spoke to some of the hostages was recorded. i think we can play a bit of that for you now. amedy coulibaly is also a - has regarded a video before his death, before he was shot by the police and he talks a lot about his cause, and you see him with a lot of weapons and military fatigues and bulletproof vests getting ready to carry out this act. >> meanwhile, an attack this morning in germany on a

amedy coulibaly and hayat boumeddiene. amedy coulibaly, a man with a long criminal history is said to be the gunman in the supermarket. the gunman suspect of the "charlie hebdo" attack have taken a hostage of their own. the standoff there end with police storming in with automatic weapons and stun grenades. the two brothers kill. hostages unharmed. at around 5:15 at the supermarket siege, loud bangs and pictures show hostages led out by police. the hostage taker is killed. inside the market four hostages. the violent conclusion to three dramatic days that terrified and traumatized a nation >>> joining us now is crist ner swift -- christopher swift, professor of national studies at george town university and joins us from washington d.c. thank you for joining us. my big question and watching all of this unfold is what is lost in terms of intelligence now that the three guys are dead? >> well potentially a great deal. here is the reason why. it's not clear to us yet whether the individuals were a part of app organization and

as we just saw, hayat boumeddiene has apparently fled to syria via turkey. does turkey need to do more? >> i was just back from syria. turkey is doing fine. but turkey, you know -- she has no magic wand to know who to arrest and him not to arrest. if the french people are not giving to turkey some data, how can turkish people block people on the border if we do not give them information. -- give them information? i told you previously, as a state of law we cannot hold people unless you have something against them, which was not the case with hayat boumeddiene. >> what is the strategy then? is it more cross-border cooperation, more surveillance snooping on citizens in general? going into prisons to stop the radical imams from talking to people vulnerable to that kind of i ideology? >> at some point. first of all, try to prevent the people to travel, first. then to be careful when they come back. then it is radicalization in jail, which is a big, big issue. then, it is also to build a discourse, like the british are doing nicely. one of the main issues is thos

where is hayat boumeddiene? also what is the connection these two seizures? did these two men -- did amedy coulibaly know the kouachi brothers? the police believe that possibly he did. how much were these two events planned in concert with each other? were they unconnected evented that became connected through a shared ideology? these are things that the police and investigators will have to work out. >> rory live for us in porte de vincennes. the french president spoke a while ago. >> translator: france has dealt with it. i express any total solidarity to the families to the victims, to the injured but france has faced up to it. when we're faced with a challenge, it's a tragedy for nation and it's obligation for us to deal with it. the assassins have been put out of action thanks to a double-action in a warehouse and another in a kosher supermarket. i would like to thank the police and all parties that took part. >> jaky rolands join us live from paris. we spoke to our correspondent in yemen who said that one of the kouachi brothers said was in yemen and tra

here's her exclusive report. >> hayat boumeddiene today among europe's most wanted women. before her name was known, boumeddiene and a male companion cleared customs with ease at istanbul's secondary airport. yet, something raised a red flag with turkish authorities and the two were placed under surveillance. they checked into this hotel on the asian side of istanbul were monitored for a couple days, but after engaging in what was described as touristic activities the surveillance stopped. all this happened in the days leading up to the paris attacks. following the paris attacks, the turks alertrd the french they had already, in fact gathered some intelligence on hayat boumeddiene. the french then provided the turks with phone numbers they were able to use to further track her movements. hayat boumeddiene's last known location along the turkey/syria border. it's become a key hub for transit into syria. the touristic city saw its population swell due to the refugee influx. and just about anyone can blend into the chaotic streets. from here there are plenty of routes to the n

one of the key questions is what role did hayat boumeddiene may have had in all of this. when amedy coulibaly gunned down four people and took hostages at the kosher supermarket, police immediately issued this arrest warrant for him and his partner, hayat boumeddiene, suggesting she had been alongside her husband for the attack. police said she was armed and dangerous. france's public prosecutor linked the couple to the attackers at ch"charlie hebdo." tropical storm it appears from the investigation especially phone taps that cherif kouachi's spouse had called more than 500 times to cue bali's partner, hayat boumeddiene, which shows strong relationship between the couple. >> reporter: this is where coulibaly was living, a ten-minute drive to month rouge where coulibaly is believed to have gunned down the police officer and 20 minutes from the supermarket where he took hostages. police are still inside the apartment investigating. their names are clearly printed on their mailbox and armed police still stake out the couple's apartment. photos of boumeddiene in 2010 quickly

the search for hayat boumeddiene. the wife of the man police say killed four hostages in the jewish market before police shot and killed him. police say her last known location was on turkey's border with syria. >>> to the breaking news in the search for airasia flight 8501. investigators retrieved one of two black boxes. now the search for the cockpit voice recorder. i want to bring in david molko. he is live in jakarta, indonesia. maybe the most important clue so far. they have one of the black boxes. >> reporter: absolutely christine. a major breakthrough 16 days after the plane went down in the java sea. we have new video coming in giving us a closer look at the data recorder they recovered this morning from the sea floor. you can see a helicopter landing on the tarmac. what you see is the black box being lifted out of one bin and transferred into another filled with saltwater. two things here. the saltwater, the same environment to help minimize any damage that may have occurred when the plane crashed into the wa

where is hayat boumeddiene? we have had conflicting reports from the turkish authorities.ady cossed into turkey and from there, she lost surveillance of her after she crossed out of turkey on her way, likely to syria. now again, we cannot confirm her location being in syria. but if indeed, she arrived in syria, she will likely have a great welcome by a number of jihadi groups there. we know her common law husband amedy coulibaly carried out gruesome attacks in paris and later a video circulated of him online pledging allegiance to the islamic state. so if she was his common law wife and she is in syria she will likely be hosted by people who likely are connected to the islamic state or other radical factions there. >> and do we know leith, if hayat boumeddiene grew up muslim. there are pictures showing her hanging out with her common law husband wearing a bikini and over into full islamic dress with only the eyes showing. so you have the range in terms of her own social media of herself. is she a convert? do we know about her past life before being involved in this inciden

then two, this is what happened with hayat boumeddiene, according to turkish officials.hen she left france or arrived in spain but on the 2nd which is significantly before the attacks began she arrived on the asian side -- there's two international airports in istanbul. she arrived at the asian side airport on a pegasus airlines flight, a small turkish airline. she stayed a couple of days there and made her way to urfa. all of this time nothing had happened there was no reason for the turkish authorities to particularly be following her, except that she had previous run-ins with french authorities. she had been questioned -- there are reports she was questioned for involvement with extremists here in france. the turks started to follow her. not at the request of france but thought tla there was something suspicious. they were keeping tabs on her phone, not physically because on the 8th she crosses in to syria in to a town which is very well known isis stronghold. it is absolute no man's land and they lost her because they lost her cell phone signal. they didn't have a bo

hayat boumeddiene, she was in turkey. there's a turkish video.en from turkey she supposedly went on to syria to connect with isis. turkey is a nato ally. she was well-known to international counter terror authorities. how does this happen? >> it under scores how tough the challenge is of closing the borders to syria. we have worked with the turkish government to improve their ability to do so. i think it shows the problem with foreign fighters not just coming in but also coming out. it's something we continue to work with the turks on. but other countries in the region as well because these are very porous borders. there's questions about what kind of documents she was traveling on. this is something we're concerned about. >> are you leaning toward this being al qaeda operation or an isis operation? clearly, not simply a couple or three guys who were as they say lone wolves inspired by some terror magazine. this was a sophisticated, highly-planned operation. there may be other accomplices still at large. >> they clearly had significant training.

her name is hayat boumeddiene, 27 years old.with one of the terrorists for a few years, for at least four years, 2010. she's described as a religious woman. her neighbor said very little about her. she hasn't been seen or spotted in the past few weeks and what we know also tonight, what we found out tonight is that she probably had some contacts with the other terrorist partner, because of her phone records. several calls have been traced from the two phones now. that doesn't mean she knew them but at least the phones were connected between the different partners. >> is there a suspicion, i assume there is this is part of a broader cell a broader network and there are other terrorists at large right now that may have been involved in what these dead terrorists were trying to do, is that right? >> well, yes. absolutely. it's one of the police's main fear tonight. clearly, hayat boumeddiene is one of their top priorities. her picture has been released. a phone line has been opened to the public if they spotted her. she could very
