ELITE French police were in a standoff with a gunman after launching a pre-dawn raid in the southern town of Toulouse, seeking the killer who shot dead three children and a rabbi at a Jewish school.
Two officers were wounded as the police specials weapons squad cornered the 24-year-old suspect - a French national claiming links to al Qaeda - in a house, a source told AFP.
..Gueant said during a press conference near the scene of the siege that the suspected gunman was an Islamic extremist.
"This person has made trips to Afghanistan and Pakistan in the past ... and says he belongs to al Qaeda and says he wanted to avenge Palestinian children and to attack the French army," Gueant said.
An official said the man had been in the sights of French authorities since the first two attacks on French paratroopers last week, AFP reported.
"He was in the DCRI's sights, as were others, after the first two attacks," the official said, referring to France's domestic intelligence service.
Local television station BFM-TV reported that the raid was carried out shortly after 3:00am local time, also adding that the suspect was believed to be linked to a French Islamist group known as Forsane Alizza. The group's website carries the slogan "Knights of Pride."

My prayers for the rebbe's family, and this idiot repents before he faces the consequences of the new world rationalization and give him the "Comfy Chair.( Monty Python skit)" treatment.
Also prayers up for the soldiers who were brutally murdered. Must be morning, at least I have an excuse for brain methane. Need coffee.
Of course it would never occur to him to attack the Palestinians for starting up the violence in the first place.
The definition of the true savage does not concern itself even with how much more he hurts strangers or captives than do the other tribes of men. The definition of the true savage is that he laughs when he hurts you; and howls when you hurt him.The Christian world view is based upon the Golden Rule. It is fundamental to how we think and view morality. We forget that this concept is not universal, and that much of the world operates according to the savage's world view above "Anything done by a member of the Tribe to the Other is OK if it benefits the Tribe. Anything the Other does to the Tribe or any of its members is evil and unforgivable"Do what he will, he cannot get outside the idea that he, because he is he and not you, is free to break the law; and also to appeal to the law.
This is how Islam operates. This is how the Left operates. Perhaps it's the reason they get along so well.
Half the people I see are either Arab or African.
The French just tiptoe around them.
But it's still on the news all day here.
