Members of the RAID special police forces unit prepared to intervene as they had besieged the apartment block where Mohamed Merah, the man suspected of a terrorizing Toulouse for days in a series of deadly shooting spree killing Jews, Christians and Muslims, all humans in the end, was holed up, on March 22, 2012 in Toulouse, southwestern France.

‘ A RAID (special French police) officer who is used to this kind of thing told me that he had never seen such a violent assault.”

Self-professed Al-Qaeda militant Mohamed Merah killed during a police raid on his besieged flat after jumping out the window while still shooting, Frnch Interior Minister Claude Gueant stated.

France shooting suspect : Died or killed by French police’s raid ?

“RAID officers tried to protect themselves, to return fire, and then in the end, Mohamed Merah jumped out of the window with a gun in his hand, continuing to fire. He was found dead on the ground.” Merah’s flat has been besieged for over 30 hours and journalists kept at a distance. His flat is reportedly on the first floor above the ground floor which makes the statement of French executives on France shooting spree suspect’s death questionable.

Gueant added reporters that during Thursday’s assault on Merah’s flat in the southern French city Toulouse, police cleared rooms until only the bathroom remained. During a furious close-quarters battle where Merah wielded an Uzi he jumped out of the bathroom window, still firing.

“When a means of surveillance (such as a mirror or camera) was introduced into the bathroom, the killer of France shooting came out from the bathroom shooting very violently. The bursts of gunfire were frequent and hard,” Gueant stated.

French Interior Minister Claude Guéant revealed details of the operation shortly after it ended in violent death of France shooting suspect.

Commandos used video cameras to check rooms for signs of life, but when they entered the bathroom France shooting suspect Merah came out ‘blazing away with a submachine gun’.

Mohamed Merah, a 23-year-old French citizen of Algerian origin claiming association with Al-Qaeda, confessed to killing four people outside a Jewish school and three French soldiers in separate attacks in the Toulouse region.

Before the morning raid on the France shooting gunman’s flat began an ambulance passed through the security cordon and paramedics carried stretchers into the building.

Three blasts were then heard in the area, which was blocked off by elite French anti-terrorist units before the raid. They were thought to be flash grenades, a sign that crack squads were about to break in.

Mohamed Merah is the France shooting gunman

Mohamed Merah had told French police he did not want to surrender and that if attacked, he would shoot to kill. Police had already attempted to detain the France shooting gunman on Wednesday night, but Mohamed Merah fired back and injured three officers, forcing them to retreat.

While the France shooting investigation is underway into whether or not France shooting spree suspect had accomplices, French President Nicolas Sarkozy has warned against any retribution against the country’s Muslim community, stating “our fellow Muslim citizens have nothing to do with this crazy murderous act of terrorism.”
