French paper Le Point reported Monday that French police are searching for three former paratroopers in connection with the Toulouse Jewish school shooting that left four dead.
According to the report, the paratroopers were dismissed over suspicion of being neo-Nazis in 2008.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy said that the same gunman who shot dead a teacher and three children at a Jewish school in Toulouse on Monday was also responsible for the killing of three soldiers last week, apparently motivated by racism.
“We know that it is the same person and the same weapon that killed the soldiers, the children and the teacher,” Sarkozy said in a televised address, saying the terrorism alert level in France had been raised.
Sarkozy also said he would suspend his campaign for France’s April-May presidential election until Wednesday.
French police said earlier Monday that forensic evidence revealed the gun used to kill four people—a teacher, his two children and another child—at the Ozar Hatorah school was the same used to slay three French soldiers on two separate occasions nearby.
France’s Interior Minister Claude Gueant attended a ceremony in Toulouse’s synagogue to pay tribute to the four Jewish victims and was greeted by France’s Chief Rabbi Gilles Bernheim and local Chabad Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Matusof.
The children were waiting for a bus to take them to the Chabad-Lubavitch run Gan Rashi elementary school.
Israel is honoring a request by the families of those killed, and the bodies will be flown to the Jewish state as quickly as possible, said Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor.
More than this murderer belonged to the Neo Na-is, the French govt. and many others, belong to a dangerous group called: ‘Neo Nothings.’ Who are they? These are the governments of the world that CAN’T protect their citizens. The main product of government is peace and security…money is secondary. These governments, along with ‘liberal thinking people’ (Kind to the cruel) if in business, would be closed down in a few weeks or months. They can’t produce. (If this murderer, YM”S, envisioned his head rolling into a basket in public if caught, would he/she do it? By the way those studies… Read more »
There is a radical Muslim group that calls themselves Nazis. I just saw this on an old Glen Beck video, which describes how intertwined that culture was with Hitler way back. One day the whole light of truth will blow open, and the world will not be able to continue living in the darkness of their denial . I guess that’s what will happen when Moshiach is revealed. Please G-d soon!
Jews and non jews in france are in shock, there is security around the schools, the presidential campaign has been put on hold!

You are a bit foolish. Last week 3 muslims north africans were killed in the same manner. Whilst not excusing the killer please recognize the french far right hate ALL minorities and that is where this is likely to stem from
No. It can very well be neo-nazis. This is a very real problem in Europe.
May G-D avenge their blood .How awful!

If a person goes out with a Kippah and Tzitzis in a non Jewish area, it is almost GIVEN they will be called names, spat at, or even beaten. This is not the case in many other parts of the world, ESPECIALLY those with such big Jewish populations as France.
