One of the three jihadist gunmen who waged attacks in Paris this month was buried today near the capital, police sources said, after his country of origin Mali refused to accept his body.
The sources, who wished to remain anonymous, said Amedy Coulibaly -- who killed a policewoman and four Jews during the January 7-9 attacks -- was buried in the Muslim section of the Thiais cemetery in the Paris region.
His family had asked for him to be buried in Mali, but that country's government refused.
