Brother of Toulouse gunman Mohamed Merah ‘dined with him’ before Jewish school shooting

Their mother was released on Friday night, but Abdelkader and his wife were
taken to Paris for further questioning.

Yamina is reported to have told police: “If my husband is a violent
Salafist, then I have been completely deceived as I never suspected anything.”

Abdelkader, however, was well known to police for supporting jihadist causes.
In 2007 he was arrested for supporting jihadists travelling to Iraq. But he
was never charged.

However, Saturday’s revelations about the mobile phone, the dinner on the eve
of the shooting, and the complicity in the theft of the motorbike raise
serious questions about Abdelkader’s role in the assassinations.

French investigators have the right to detain him, as part of a terrorist
investigation, for 96 hours of questioning.

It is not yet clear what he could be charged with, if anything.
