Hayat Boumeddiene, the wanted partner of one of the gunmen shot dead by police after three days of high drama in France, arrived in Turkey before the killings and may now be in Syria, a Turkish security source told AFP Saturday.
      
"She entered Turkey on January 2," the source said, adding that Boumeddiene had a return ticket from Madrid to Istanbul.
      

Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras is expected to attend a French national unity rally in Paris on Sunday following an invitation from the country?s President Francois Hollande.

The peaceful march was organized in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris last Wednesday in which 12 people were shot dead by French-Algerian brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi.

The two hostage incidents that unfolded in France on Friday resulted in the death of three suspects and four hostages.

The suspected perpetrators of the January 7 Charlie Hebdo shooting brothers Cherif Kouachi and Said Kouachi took a hostage in a printing plant northeast of Paris in the town of Dammartin-en-Goele on Friday.

The French security forces stormed almost simultaneously both hostage sites - the kosher supermarket in Porte de Vincennes district in Paris and the printing shop in the town of Dammartin-en-Goele.

The suspected Charlie Hebdo gunmen, who had taken a hostage at a printing shop in Dammartin on Friday, were killed in the assault, the BBC reports.

Police have denied their own previous reports that two people had been killed after a shootout in a Kosher supermarket in Paris, France.

An unknown number of people are being held hostage.

Several hostages were freed after French commandos stormed a Jewish supermarket in eastern Paris where an assailant was holed up on Friday.
      
After several explosions, police stormed the shop in Portes de Vincennes and several hostages exited the store shortly afterwards and were taken to safety.

Five people were killed, including the gunman, sources said.
