“France arrests 19 Islamist suspects in dawn raids”
SNIPPET: “The raids were in Toulouse, the home of gunman Mohamed Merah, and other cities.”
SNIPPET: “Police have been hunting possible accomplices but sources said there was no direct link with the raids.”
SNIPPET: “Several of the raids were in Toulouse, particularly the Mirail quarter, sources told AFP.
But there were also raids in Nantes, which is believed to be a centre for the Forsane Alizza (Knights of Pride) group, to which Merah had been linked by some French media.
It is a Salafist group that was dissolved by the interior ministry in an earlier investigation.”
SNIPPET: “Police sources told AFP that three Kalashnikovs, a Glock pistol and a grenade were seized at his home.
Other arrests took place in Lyon, Marseille, Paris, Nice and Le Mans.
Merah’s brother, Abdelkader, has already been charged with aiding him and police are hunting a third man said to be involved in the theft of a scooter that Merah used in all the killings.
Police also say a USB memory stick that was posted to the al-Jazeera TV channel containing the video he took of the killings must have been posted by someone other than Merah.”
A bit Off Topic:

SNIPPET: “Mudhar Hussein Almalaki, el cabecilla islamista detenido esta semana por la Guardia Civil en Valencia, había propuesto a Al-Qaida asesinar al expresidente José María Aznar y al exsecretario general de la OTAN Javier Solana como castigo por “los crímenes cometidos contra los musulmanes”.”
SNIPPET: “El pasado 22 de marzo, dentro de las webs y foros yihadistas que controlaba también hizo “exaltación” del Mohamed Merah, el asesino de Toulouse.
Almalaki, según la Guardia Civil, además distribuyó entre más de 70.000 usuarios de la web manuales sobre ataques terroristas y envenenamientos masivos.”

“Spain arrests ‘Al-Qaida’s Librarian’”

SNIPPET quote:
The story identifies MHA as Mudhar Hussein Almalaki, and notes Almalaki’s involvement in the infamous ‘Hit List’ that was developed on the al-Shmukh forum and copied over to the Ansar al-Mujahideen Arabic forum. For background on that see:
