Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told reporters that 26-year-old Hayat Boumeddiene flew to Turkey and stayed at a hotel in Istanbul on January 2. She crossed into Syria on January 8, a day before her partner Amedy Coulibaly carried out a kidnapping and was shot dead at a supermarket in Paris. Boumeddiene’s role in the 3 days of bloodshed in Paris remains unclear.
