HAYAT Boumeddiene is currently the world's most wanted woman.
But the mysterious alleged accomplice of a man connected with a hostage siege and police killing in France is just one in a growing number of females becoming involved in shocking extremist terrorist groups.
Boumeddiene, 26, is on the run from police after being named as the partner of Amedy Coulibaly, 32, who was killed during a siege at a Kosher grocery store in Porte de Vincennes earlier today.
But she's not the first woman to fall for the charms of an extremist.
She's the latest in a growing list including Colleen Renee LaRose — also known as Jihad Jane —, Shannon Maureen Conley and Samantha Lewthwaite, dubbed the White Widow.

HOLLANDE: A "terrifying anti-Semitic act"
Like gender, age does not appear to be a factor in why these women are drawn to this dark existence.
A 15-year-old girl blew herself up in Nigeria last year, one of four attacks in the region carried out by young women.
The Atlantic reported last year that women in Syria were wandering the streets waving firearms and enforcing the jihadist code of conduct, all in the name of al-Khansaa — an all-female brigade linked to ISIS.
We take a look at the most notable female terrorists in recent memory.

COLLEEN RENEE LaROSE (JIHAD JANE)
Self-titled 'Jihad Jane', 51-year-old Colleen Renee LaRose was sentenced to 10 years in prison last January for her role in a failed attempt to kill a Swedish artist who had depicted the head of the Muslim Prophet Mohammad on a dog.
She travelled to Europe in 2009 to take part in a plot to shoot Lars Vilks but returned to Philadelphia without the task completed.
She was arrested upon her return.
The judge who sentenced LaRose to a decade behind bars said her crimes were "gravely serious".
LaRose's lawyer Mark Wilson said immediately after the verdict that the sentence was reasonable.
"Ten years is about what we were hoping for all along".

SAMANTHA LEWTHWAITE (WHITE WIDOW)
Samantha Lewthwaite, 30, is the wife of Germaine Lindsay who was responsible for the July 2005 bombings in central London that killed 52 people.
The White Widow, as she was known, joined the Islamic State last year and became one of Britain's most wanted people.
Her rumoured death at the hands of a Russian sniper in November last could not be confirmed.
Lewthwaite, a former soldier's daughter, joined IS and became one of the most powerful women in the network, the Daily Mail reported last year.
She was born in Northern Ireland and schooled in Aylesbury and was suspected of involvement in the training of a special team of female suicide bombers in Syria.

SHANNON MAUREEN CONLEY
Shannon Maureen Conley is expected to be sentenced later this month after pleading guilty in September last year to a plan to join ISIS and serve as a nurse at a jihadist camp.
Convey was 19 at the time.
She was arrested in at Denver International Airport in April preparing to board a flight to Germany and cross the border to Turkey after meeting an IS member on the internet, CNN reported.
Convey was a certified nurse aid and faces a maximum penalty of five years in federal prison.
