Once a jihadi always a jihadi

So that means that the French authorities knew all about this guy from the very beginning, and the talk about “three neo-Nazi ex-army types” was just a ruse. Brian of London was right, we discussed this very senario that he brought up.

UPDATE: Let the TT know if this is really the picture of the murderer. There may be more than one Mohammed Merah (a boxer?)

U.S. sent suspect back to France from Afghanistan: Prosecutor

CALGARYHERALD: TOULOUSE, France – The U.S. army sent a Frenchman currently besieged by police in Toulouse after the killings of seven people, back to France after he was arrested in Afghanistan, a prosecutor said Wednesday.

Afghan police detained the man at a road checkpoint and handed him over to the U.S. army “who put him on the first plane headed to France,” prosecutor Francois Molins told reporters.

Molins, France’s top anti-terror magistrate who is overseeing the probe into the killing of three soldiers, three Jewish children and a teacher, did not provide a date or details of the Afghan arrest of suspect Mohamed Merah.

He said it occurred on one of two trips the 23-year-old Frenchman of Algerian origin made to Afghanistan. Molins said the second trip began in mid-August last year and lasted two months.

French police were laying siege Wednesday to an apartment block in Toulouse where the self-declared al-Qaida militant Merah was holed up.
