Explosives and arms were founded in an apartment in Gentilly, Val-de-Marne, to the southern suburb of Paris, along with identities under the name of Amedy Coulibaly, reported French TV TF1 on Sunday.

Police found weapons in the apartment, where some identity documents of Coulibaly were also uncovered, said TF1.

The French authorities said Saturday, Hayat Boumeddiene, Coulibaly's wife and suspected accomplice of terrorist attack, is believed to has reached Syria from Turkey.

According to Francois Molins, Paris prosecutor of the Republic, a DNA test confirmed Coulibaly as the shooter of Thursday's Montroung shooting where a policewoman was shot dead.

Killed in the assault of French security force, Coulibaly, who took several hostages and killed four of them Friday at a Jewish supermarket in Paris, claimed himself belong to the Islamic State (IS) and that he acted synchronically with the Kouachi brothers.

Furthermore, in a video posted Sunday on the Internet, a man, who looked like Coulibaly, claimed responsibility on behalf of the IS. A police source, quoted by local media, confirmed it was indeed Amedy Coulibaly in the video. Endit
