France is turning its focus towards preventing more terrorist attacks today after almost 2 million people lined the streets of Paris in solidarity with the victims of last week's shootings.

President Francois Hollande will chair a crisis meeting of his cabinet after questions were raised about how gunmen evaded intelligence services.

Amedy Coulibaly and the Kouachi brothers were all known to authorities and had links to jihadist networks.

Journalist Peter Allen is in Paris and says resource issues may have caused the security lapse.

Meanwhile Turkey's Foreign Minister says the woman wanted in connection with last week's terror attacks in Paris crossed the Turkish border into Syria on Thursday.

A major search is continuing to trace Hayat Boumeddiene who officials now say entered Turkey on the 2nd of January via Madrid.

Her partner Amedy Coulibaly shot dead a police officer and carried out Friday's raid on a kosher supermarket, killing four others.

Earlier, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said Coulibaly 'undoubtedly had an accomplice'.
