Standoff in Toulouse

Uther · 21 Mar 2012 at 08:13

Skynews reports the French school shooting suspect is currently cornered in a house in Toulouse.
Seems he is an Al Queda supporter previously arrested in Afghanistan, rather than as previously thought neo nazi.

Two police shot in the legs according to the radio.

Sounds very dodgy. He has weapons and possibly explosives!? :eek:

Paul11 · 21 Mar 2012 at 08:34

good that they found him.

Uther · 21 Mar 2012 at 08:43

Mohammed Merah, of Algerian origin. Le Pen is talking about the death penalty being brought back apparently. Wonder if support will increase for him now.

Him? Marine Le Pen (Jean-Marie's daughter) is the leader of Front National now. Or was the old boy wading into the argument?

He might aswell surrender. in a gun fight , he's bound to lose

RazrLite · 21 Mar 2012 at 08:51

Don't the French usually just surrender?

Devlish · 21 Mar 2012 at 08:51

Ideally, the siege will produce a fire and the #### will burn to death slowly.

Apparently he was traced because he tried to get his scooter repainted after the first two attacks.

Fortunately the French police/armed forces aren't shy of using their weapons. When they hit, they hit hard - so hopefully they'll do the same in this case.

I'm waiting for some one to post a picture of motherboard standoff on Toulouse on a map.

This guy is going to do a whole lot of good for the image of Algerians in France.

Guerrilla · 21 Mar 2012 at 08:56

Hopefully they get him sooner rather than later and before he manages to hurt anyone else.

Efour · 21 Mar 2012 at 08:58

I doubt he will be coming out of this alive, either by his own hand or the Polices so we will never know the full story.

Shoot 3 kids and a Guy point blank ?? i think id be thinking about suicide now....

think the CRS went in this morning are waiting for him he said he would give up this afternoon from what i can see at work on the news

Pointless him continuing the stand off, he's bound toulouse.

Hope he isn't allowed the easy way out and ends up rotting away for the rest of his life in a small cell.

I've not seen Sky's coverage but the BBC seem to have, once again, neglected to mention that Israel are at the heart of the issue. When will they be wiped off the map?!

For Israel, see religion.
