A man wanted in a series of killings in southern France, the latest claiming the lives of three children and a rabbi at a Jewish school, has been arrested after a standoff with police, French TV stations are reporting today.  The news Wednesday came nearly 12 hours after police tried to carry out an early-morning raid on an apartment building in northern Toulouse in which two officers were injured in a shootout.

As negotiations continued, with 300 officers surrounding the building, French television channels BFM TV and i-Tele reported an arrest, without providing further details.  Officers swept in soon after 3 a.m. Wednesday, and after the initial attempt at making an arrest failed, began talks with the 24-year-old suspect, described as a French citizen of Algerian descent who claimed to have links to al-Qaeda.

More to come

A man wanted in a series of killings in southern France, the latest claiming the lives of three children and a rabbi at a Jewish school, has been arrested after a standoff with police, French TV stations are reporting today ....

Beware initial reports from quickly-unfolding events.....

A 23-year-old gunman suspected of killing seven people in southwestern France in the name of al Qaeda, jumped from a window to his death in a hail of bullets after police stormed his apartment on Thursday.

"At the moment when a video probe was sent into the bathroom, the killer came out of the bathroom, firing with extreme violence," Interior Minister Claude Gueant said, adding that Merah was firing several guns at once.

"In the end, Mohamed Merah jumped from the window with his gun in his hand, continuing to fire. He was found dead on the ground," he told reporters at the scene. Two police commandos were wounded.

Special forces entered the five-storey building in a suburb of Toulouse after besieging Merah since early on Wednesday.

Gueant said earlier police hoped to capture Merah, who had confessed to police negotiators to killing three soldiers as well as three Jewish children and a rabbi at a school, alive ....

Ah! So a happy ending after all.  I did see that I was presumptuous in the bagged report later on but as it was a new one every couple of hours I thought it best to shut up.  Much to everyone's pleasure I'm sure.

The Taliban or AQ will have a field day with their propaganda machines.

"Martyr Enters Paradise After Killing 37 French Infidel Swine" or words to that effect.

I would have said "Capitalist running Dogs" but that was a Communist saying many years ago.

Disgust Mode ON > 

How about AQ saying "Martyr Enters Paradise After Killing 7 French Brothers and People of the Book Including 3 Innocent Children."

I cannot properly express my disgust at the actions of this baby killing swine and my contempt towards the Palestinians who permit this evil to be committed in their behalf. Evil is Evil no matter what God you profess your faith to.

I did have hopes the Gendarmes would pacify him with vigorous mineral therapy.  All folks like him should receive therapy and cut down on court costs.

Toulouse gunman’s father plans to sue France over son’s death

ALGIERS — The Islamist gunman whose murder spree shocked France will be buried in his ancestral homeland Algeria, his father told AFP Monday, adding that he planned to sue France over his son’s death.

“[God willing], I have decided to bury my son in Algeria,” Mohamed Benalel Merah said, referring to his son Mohamed Merah, 23, who was shot dead by French police on Thursday in Toulouse at the end of a stand-off after his shooting attacks that killed seven.

“Mohamed has an Algerian passport and has been listed with the [Algerian] consulate in Toulouse since his birth,” the elder Merah said.

He also hit out against France for having shot his son instead of taking him alive at the end of a 32-hour siege at his apartment in Toulouse.

“France is a big country that had the means to take my son alive. They could have knocked him out with gas and taken him in,” he said. “They preferred to kill him.”

“I will hire the biggest named lawyers and work for the rest of my life to pay (their) costs. I will sue France for having killing my son.”

Seeing as Big Bro is a cheerleader and accomplice, I don't imagine that the apple fell far from the tree in regards to dear o'l Dad.  The French should sue the shit out of him instead.

 

[George Wallace]

Perhaps 'dear o'l dad' is in on the plot and needs additional funding. 

Sum him up quickly and move on.

Algerians have been the root causes of terrorist attacks in France since the 1950's.

I'd say dad needs mineral therapy......ya know?

I believe he means the same as me.  About 115 grains of copper sheeted lead.  >

 

[Retired AF Guy]

What the French government should do is cremate the gunman's body and dump the ashes it over the countryside. That would make sure there's no no martyr's grave for young jihadists to visit.
