FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Merah’s killing spree sparked a deluge of criticism at home and abroad over how France’s intelligence services failed to trail him more closely given that they had singled him out as an extremist and that he was on a US “no-fly” list.
France’s new Interior Minister Manuel Valls this week said that he had asked the DCRI and national police for a report on “what was dysfunctional” in the Merah case.
“The state didn’t know how or was unable to protect the French,” he said.
A French intelligence agent quizzed Merah in November 2011 upon his return to France from Pakistan, but apparently believed his claims that he had been in the region as a tourist when he produced travel photos.
The families of his victims were due to meet on Tuesday with judges for the latest details on the murder investigation and possible compensation.
Merah’s older brother Abdelkader is currently remanded in custody facing charges of complicity to murder.
Despite horror at the killings, there has been a “considerable rise” in the number of anti-Semitic attacks in France in the weeks after the Merah murders, according to Richard Prasquier, head of the national Jewish council CRIF.
On Monday, three Jewish men aged 18, 23 and 24 wearing skullcaps were hospitalised after being a attacked with a hammer and iron bars by a group of men of North-African origin. Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault condemned them as “very serious”.
