A man and his wife were being questioned by police in France in relation to the January attacks at a kosher supermarket in Paris, the French Prosecutor's office said today.

They were questioned on suspicion that weapons used by Amedy Coulibaly - the attacker who held hostages in the supermarket - passed through a company owned by one of the people detained.

The attack at the supermarket came days after two other terrorists targeted the offices of the magazine Charlie Hebdo, killing 11.

Coulibaly was the only one of the January Paris attackers who explicitly pledged allegiance to ISIS at the time.
