At around 03:00 this (21/3/12) morning French police raided a property in Toulouse in order to arrest the 24 year old French-Algerian Mohammed Merah in relation to a spate of shootings in the region. It's fair to say the raid has not been a complete success because two police officers were shot and wounded and the police remain in an armed stand off with the suspect.
Obviously the police have yet to fully establish that they've got the right suspect let alone have a long discussion with him about his motives. However as Merah is a Muslim of Algerian descent it's likely to be related to Islamic terrorism or the 50 anniversary of the French Algerian war.
It also means the only thing I've written about this topic so far that's been accurate is saying that the British tip about Nazi paratroopers was less then helpful.
And at around 09:45 on 21/3/12 my home Internet connection is working.
