The jihadi terrorist who killed a cop and four hostages at a kosher grocery store was buried Friday near Paris after his native country of Mali rejected his body.
Amedy Coulibaly, 32, an ISIS-loving drug dealer, was buried in the Muslim section of a cemetery in Thiais, south of Paris, with a few relatives present, the Associated Press reported. No markings indicate his grave.
He was killed by police as they raided the Hyper Cacher market in Paris on Jan. 9 — the day brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi were tracked down after they massacred 12 people in an assault on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
Officials in Mali did not give a reason for rejecting Coulibaly’s body a day before his planned burial in Bamako. It had remained in the Forensic Institute in Paris until he was buried in Thiais, the Daily Mail reported.
French spokesman Stephane Le Foll had confirmed that Coulibaly would be buried in France if his native country refused to accept his body.
The Kouachi brothers — who were of Algerian heritage — were killed in a shootout two days after their attack and buried in unmarked graves in secret locations in their hometowns of Rheims and Gennevilliers.
The towns were forced to find graves for the brothers under a French law that grants a right to be buried in the district where a deceased lived or the district where the deceased was killed, the Daily Mail reported.
It was not clear why Coulibaly — who lived with Hayat Boumeddiene, 26, in the nearby city of Fontenay-aux-Roses — was buried in Thiais, The New York Times reported.
