Mali has
refused to accept the body of terrorist Amedy Coulibaly in a sudden U-turn the
day before he was expected to be buried in the soil of his birth country.
The gunman
who murdered four hostages in a Kosher delicatessen as well as a policewoman
was due to be buried in Bamako today; instead he remains in a fridge in the
Forensic Institute in Paris.
Malian
authorities have reportedly given no reason for the change of heart, which
means Coulibaly is now likely to be buried somewhere in France.
'If Mali refuses to bury him on its territory,
he will be buried in France, said government spokesman, Stephanie Le Foll,
without elaborating.
The
32-year-old small-time dope dealer-cum-terrorist was gunned down by police as
they raided the Hyper Cacher kosher supermarket in east Paris on January 9, the
day police tracked down Charlie Hebdo massacre gunmen Chérif and Saïd Kouachi.
