The gunman who terrorized France in recent days filmed all three of his shootings (as suspected) and claimed to have posted them online, a French prosecutor confirmed today. Mohamed Merah, 23, filmed his alleged shootings with a camera strapped to his chest harness, the prosecutor told Sky News. In the first, which depicts the shooting of a soldier on March 11, the gunman can be heard crying, “You kill my brothers; I kill you.”
Merah reportedly claimed to have been linked to al-Qaeda, and US intelligence backs up that assertion; an intelligence official tells CNN that Merah was on the US no-fly list because he'd attended an al-Qaeda training camp.
