Editor’s Note: As France and England struggle to regain their footing as colonial/imperial powers in partnership with Washington, the police state and coverups continue to inject their ugly face into the lives of those nations.
Mohamed Merah’s family denies he was Toulouse, France gunman

France’s current head, and wholesale terrorist, Sarkozy, attends funeral of soldiers supposedly killed by Merah (retail terrorist). France’s collusion in imperial adventures with the US and Britain is a stain on her honor. As Merah’s brother, Rachid, said: “You reap what you sow. They kill our children in Palestine, in Afghanistan, in Iraq, they should recognise their responsibility. The minister of the interior has said that Mohamed was a monster….but I reply that they have created this monster which killed children.”—Eds

The family of Mohamed Merah, whom French police accused of carrying out a wave of deadly shootings in Toulouse and Montauban between March 11 and 19, has emphatically denied that he was a terrorist or carried out the killings. Merah was killed by an elite police unit after a 32-hour siege of his flat last Thursday.
His half-brother Rachid Merah, who lives in Algeria, told FranceInfo television: “I have no idea of what the media and the politicians are talking about. They say that Mohammed has been in Afghanistan and Pakistan and that he was in contact with Al Qaeda. But I categorically deny it. And I doubt whether he has had any links with Al Qaeda or the Taliban or any terrorist organisation in the world. And proof of that is that France killed him before he could speak in court, when they could have caught him alive.” Read more…
