The mother and sisters of slain jihadist Amedy Coulibaly have condemned his attacks in France, offering their "sincere condolences" to the families of the victims, according to a statement.

"We condemn these acts. We absolutely do not share these extreme ideas. We hope there will not be any confusion between these odious acts and the Muslim religion," they wrote on Saturday.

Coulibaly was killed by police on Friday after seizing a Jewish supermarket in Paris where he shot four hostages dead. A day earlier he killed a policewoman in Montrouge, south of the capital.
