A new, massive manhunt was launched Friday for the only surviving suspect from the two hostage situations in France, who may have escaped, police union spokesman Pascal Disant said.

That suspect is Hayat Boumeddiene, a 26-year-old woman who allegedly was the accomplice of Amedy Coulibaly, 32, in the standoff at a kosher grocery store in eastern Paris.

Boumeddiene may have eluded capture during the confusion as the freed hostages were running away, Disant said.

• Hayat Boumeddiene, the 26-year-old woman wanted in Thursday's fatal shooting of a policewoman outside Paris, escaped Friday from the grocery store in the confusion as hostages ran away, Alliance Police Union spokesman Pascal Disand said. She'd been in the market with Coulibaly, the other suspect in Thursday's deadly incident. The FBI also said that French police were trying to find Boumeddiene.

This, rather like her, seems to have slipped through the cracks. It now seems she was inside the kosher supermarket, and not just an associate of the gunman. If they let her go, that's incompetent. A basic part of a hostage situation is to hang on to everyone who comes out, and sort out who they are. They knew about her before the end of the siege.
