A photo of a bikini-clad Hayat Boumeddiene, suspected to be an assailant in the Paris supermarket attack which left four people dead, surfaced online on Saturday.

Boumediene's husband Amedy Coulibaly stormed a kosher supermarket and took in several hostages, killing four people before he was shot by police.

Other photos showed her in a burqa as she posed in a sling shot. In another image, she is seen with Coulibaly.

Police issued a bulletin Friday asking anyone with information about Coulibaly's wife, 26-year-old Hayat Boumeddiene, to contact them, saying she was potentially “armed and dangerous.”

Boumeddiene was likely in Turkey at the time of the killings, a police source told AFP on Saturday.

Police had initially suspected the 26-year-old may have had a role in her partner Amedy Coulibaly's acts of violence on Thursday and Friday when he shot dead a policewoman and took people hostage in a Paris siege, but she was likely already in Turkey, the source said.

A security source told AFP that Turkey failed to arrest Boumeddiene due to lack of intel from France.
