Amedy Coulibaly now is shown in a long [apparently very recent] video reading a statement of his fidelity to ISIL [complete with ISIL flag behind him]. Others have already questioned the authenticity of the video. I've seen it, but it was without the voice...but I'm sure by now it is online with translation and voice.

A man resembling Amedy Coulibaly, who shot a policewoman and took hostages at a Jewish supermarket in the Paris attacks, claimed to be a member of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in a posthumous video released online on Jan. 11.
Speaking into the camera, the man says he coordinated with the two gunmen who attacked the Charlie Hebdo magazine on Wednesday, killing 12.
"I am addressing myself first of all to the Caliph of Muslims Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi," he says, referring to the leader of ISIL.
"I have declared allegiance to the Caliph," he says in broken, stuttering Arabic, wearing Islamic white dress and headgear.
A text that runs at the start of the video says the man is Coulibaly, and that he was responsible for the killing of a policewoman in southern Paris on Thursday and the attack on the supermarket the following day, as well as a car blown up in aParis street that authorities have not so far linked to the attacks.
"The brothers of our team, they did Charlie Hebdo," the man says.
"I also went out a bit against the police so that it has more impact. We managed to synchronise to come out at the same time," he says, wearing a camouflage army vest in this section.
"What we have done is completely legitimate given what they have done. If you attack the caliphate, we will attack you."
The video starts with shots of the man doing press-ups in sports gear. An automatic rifle leans against the wall beside him in a later section.
Al Jazeera's website seems to have the entire video with translation.
