The older brother of the self-confessed Al Qaeda terrorist thought to have murdered seven people across south west France over the past two weeks has been arrested. Abdelkader Mera, 27, was detained by French Police this morning. It is not clear exactly when he was arrested. But it came after the 3am raid when 300 armed police dramatically swooped on his 24-year-old brother Mohammed's Toulouse home.

Why don’t they fire a white phosphorus grenade into this flat, torch the guy and end this thing?
probably because they don’t want to fry innocent neighbors
or their property?
jeeze...
Hope the guy doesn’t have his apartment rigged to blow up!
You really believe every neighbor in the block wasn't evacuated hours ago? Really?
Not necessary. The police snipers probably already have him scoped out and are only waiting for the order.
Paging Mayor Goode.... Paging Mayor Goode...
I hope they take him alive?
NAW....shoot him?
Or even better, throw him in a room, cuffed, with the parents of the children he murdered?
Mohammed...Akbar...

yeah really. you think that they should just throw fire bombs around like in Philly?

According to Wikipedia the GIGN currently uses scoped 8- or 10-inch barreled versions of the MM73 for tactical purposes.
Ah, the ol' Ruby Ridge/Mt. Carmel solution, eh?
Well. There it is.
And dead guys can't squeal either.....
Remind me again, how many Islamic terrorist child executioners were involved in those incidents?
