A video showing Amedy Coulibaly - the gunman responsible for the Paris supermarket massacre - swearing allegiance to the Islamic State has been released online this morning.

In the 7-minute long clip, Coulibaly is seen surrounded by weapons and attempts to justify his attack on the Jewish store, in which four hostages died.

Coulibaly was himself killed when police stormed the supermarket on Friday afternoon, but his message appears to have been filmed sometime over the three days in which terror gripped France last week.

Here is what he said in the chilling video.

MESSAGE ON SCREEN : Which group are you linked to and do you have an Emir?
Coulibaly: "I am pledging my allegiance to the Caliph of the Muslims, Abu Bakr al Baghdadi.
"I have made a declaration of allegiance to the Caliph and the declaration of a Caliphate. "
"I give myself to [long list of names in Arabic which he struggled to read and pronounced]

'We are a team': Coulibaly aligns himself with the two brothers who attacked Charlie Hebdo

MESSAGE ON SCREEN : "Are you linked to the brothers who attacked Charlie Hebdo?"
Coulibaly: "We are a team, in league together. I am with the team who did Charlie Hebdo.
"I went out a little against the police too. So that’s that. We did some things together, some things separately to have most impact. [Sound of TV news in the background in which newsreader can be clearly heard talking about the attacks].
"We have managed to be synchronised together, to come out at the same time, because we are close in the same business.
"Why did you attack France, Charlie Hebdo and a Jewish grocery? [Wearing black leather jacket, black hat and gloves with his AK47 lent next to him against a white wall])
"What we are in the process of doing is completely legitimate considering what they do... It has been completely deserved for a long time.
"For what you have done to the Caliphate, for what you have done to the Islamic State, we are attacking you.
"You cannot attack us and expect nothing back in return. So, the victims.
"As if you don’t understand why this is happening, for a few dead. This is for you and your coalition, with you at its head.

Message to the West: Coulibaly criticised Western attacks against ISIS

"You kill there regularly, you use your force, you kill our soldiers. Why? Because we live by Sharia.
"In our state we have decided that is how we live. We will not let you do that. We will fight, if Allah wills it."
MESSAGE ON SCREEN : What is your advice for the Muslims in France?
Coulibaly [wearing Arabic robe and head-dress]: "I am addressing my Muslim brothers, everywhere and in particular in Western countries.
"I ask them 'What are you doing? What are you doing my brothers? What are you doing when they continually insult the Prophet? What are you doing to the aggressors? What do you do when they massacre the entire population?....What are you doing my brothers?'
"Since I got out, I’ve moved around a lot, I’ve visited lots of mosques, in France a little bit and a lot in the Paris region.
"They are all full, full of energy. They are full of sporty youngsters. They are full of men in good health. How do you think with all these thousands and millions of people to defend this?"
The footage ends with a quote from the Koran being sung over footage from the violent end to the supermarket siege.
