Funerals for four people killed during the kosher supermarket attack in Paris last week, will take place in Israel later.

17 people were murdered and French police have warned up to six terror cell members may still be at large.

The man who killed the four shoppers in a hostage stand-off in Paris "undoubtedly" had an accomplice, France's prime minister says.

Manuel Valls said "the hunt will go on" for the person who helped Amedy Coulibaly (32), who shot dead a policewoman in southern Paris before beginning the drama at the kosher supermarket.

He was fatally shot with at least 40 bullets as the siege came to a violent end.

Investigators have been trying to find his partner, Hayat Boumeddiene (26), but Turkey's foreign minister, Mevlut Cavusoglu, said she crossed into Syria from the country on January 8th.

She arrived in an Istanbul airport on January 2nd from Madrid, before the attacks, and stayed in a hotel.

Coulibaly's mother and sisters have condemned his actions, saying "we hope there will not be any confusion between these odious acts and the Muslim religion".

Meanwhile the first edition of the French satirical magazine - which was attacked in Paris last week - will show a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed on its front cover.

The special issue of Charlie Hebdo, due out tomorrow, will feature the prophet with a tear in his eye under the message "all is forgiven."
