FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The 24 year-old told police he was a jihadist for al Qaeda seeking revenge for
Palestinian children and French military postings overseas.
Police are concerned that he may have explosives and that he will blow up the
building, in the Cote Pavee residential district, if they storm it.
Officers blew up a vehicle that was blocking access to the area this morning
at 8am. They have also brought in a bus to help evacuate residents of the
building once the siege concludes.
Two police officers were injured as the operation got underway this morning.
One was shot in the knee and one in the shoulder.
The suspect is thought to be armed with a Kalashnikov assault rifle, a
Mini-Uzi 9mm machine pistol and other handguns, but had thrown a .45 pistol
he used to murder seven people in recent weeks from the window.
Merah’s mother, who is from Algeria, was brought to the scene but she refused
to reason with him, saying she had “little control” over him.
Claude Gueant, the French interior minister, who is at the scene, said: “He
claims to be a mujahideen and to belong to al Qaeda.
“He wanted revenge for the Palestinian children and he also wanted to
take revenge on the French army because of its foreign interventions.”

Mr Gueant said the suspect’s mother would not help police.
“She was asked to make contact with her son, to reason with him, but she
did not want to, saying she had little influence on him,” he said.
The area surrounding the house was cordoned off by police officers wearing
full body armour and helmets, thought to be members of France’s special
weapons squad RAID.
Mr Gueant said. “This person has made trips to Afghanistan and Pakistan
in the past … and says he belongs to Al-Qaeda and says he wanted to avenge
Palestinian children and to attack the French army.”

A source close to the inquiry told AFP a 24-year-old suspect had exchanged
words with the RAID team.
Neighbours expressed their shock at the arrest in the “peaceful”
neighbourhood.
“I could never imagine he’d be in this neighbourhood,” said
55-year-old Roland as he left the police cordon to head for work. “But
I heard the gunfire and thought straight away of the serial killer.”
Roland said the district was peaceful and law-abiding, adding that he had only
ever been stopped by police once, 35 years previously.
Terrifying comparisons have been drawn between the gunman and Anders Behring
Breivik, the Norwegian who went on a shooting rampage that killed 77 young
people at a holiday camp outside Oslo last July.
The serial killer executed all his victims with a shot to the head and may
even have filmed his racist killing spree with a view to posting it on the
internet.
The scooter gunman shot each of his seven victims, including three young
children, at such close range that the gunfire burned their skin, a French
prosecutor revealed on Tuesday.
“The killer had a camera strapped to his chest (during the school attack)
that would allow him to film and view the footage on a computer,”
confirmed Claude Gueant, France’s Interior Minister, on Tuesday. “The
camera is a clue. It adds to the psychological profile we’re establishing
for the killer.”
It was thought to be the same kind of camera that Breivik recommended in a
rambling racist manifesto published ahead of his massacre.
The shootings began on March 11, when an paratrooper of North African origin
arranged to meet someone in Toulouse to sell him a scooter he had advertised
online, revealing in the ad his military status.
Imad Ibn Ziaten, a 30-year-old staff sergeant in the 1st Airborne
Transportation Regiment, was shot in the head at close range with a .45
calibre pistol, a method that was to become the suspect’s signature.
Four days later three more paratroopers from another regiment were gunned down
– two of them fatally – in identical fashion in a street in the garrison
town of Montauban, 45 kilometres (29 miles) away.
The dead – Corporal Abel Chennouf, 25, and Private First Class Mohammed
Legouade, 23, both of the 17t Parachute Engineering Regiment – were French
soldiers of North African Arab origin.
Arab soldiers are prized targets for groups like Al-Qaeda, which regards
Muslims who fight for Western armies as traitors.
Then on Monday the shooter, still wearing a motorcycle helmet and riding a
scooter, opened fire outside the Ozar Hatorah Jewish school in Toulouse, a
religious studies teacher, his toddler sons and a seven-year-old girl.
Anti-terrorist magistrates said the same gun and and make of scooter was used
in all three attacks and noted that the three attacks were carried out at
precise four-day intervals.
On Wednesday, the bodies of the four Jewish victims arrived in Israel.
Rabbi Jonathan Sandler, his sons Arieh, 5, and Gabriel, 4, and seven-year-old
Miriam Monsonego arrived at Ben Gurion international airport near Tel Aviv
shortly before daw. They were to be buried later in the day
