    FRANCE'S SARKOZY PLEDGES TERROR CRACKDOWN

    PanARMENIAN.Net - French President Nicolas Sarkozy said an
    investigation has begun to see if the radical Islamic gunman Mohamed
    Merah, who died after jumping from a window during a police siege,
    had any accomplices, Belfast Telegraph reported.

    Merah was suspected of killing three schoolchildren, a rabbi and
    three paratroopers. He had travelled to Afghanistan and Pakistan
    for training.

    Sarkozy said that anyone who regularly visits "websites which support
    terrorism or call for hate or violence will be punished by the law".

    The president promised a crackdown on anyone who goes abroad "for
    the purposes of indoctrination in terrorist ideology".

    The Islamic extremist who boasted of killing seven people died today
    after jumping from his window, gun in hand, in a fierce shootout with
    French police.

    Interior Minister Claude Gueant said the suspect, who claimed links
    to al Qaeda, jumped out after police entered the Toulouse apartment
    and found him holed up in the bathroom.

    The death of Mohamed Merah, 23, ended a more than 32-hour siege with
    an elite police squad trying to capture him alive.
