After a 30 hour siege where the French police tested the gunman’s endurance, Mohammed Merah managed to end his life in a gun battle with elite forces entering his appartment. Unfortunately, three French police were wounded and one seriously. Mohammed got his martyr’s death what the French police had hoped to prevent.
Yesterday I listened to the France24 senior editor Ebba Kalondo who spoke with the gunman by phone just hours before the siege started. Many, many questions will be asked in the performance of the intelligence service, how this fanatic could come back to France after receiving a Salafist indoctrination in the AfPak border region. One year ago, he was interrogated by the French DCRI service.
"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."
