MERAH WORKED FOR THE SPOOKS?
Certain top French intelligence officials have suggested that Mohamed Merah, the alleged gunman in Toulouse, worked for French intelligence.
Merah has been linked to the Central Directorate of Internal Intelligence (DCRI), run by Bernard Squarcini, who is very close to President Nicolas Sarkozy. Squarcini has admitted that Merah repeatedly visited DCRI offices. Yves Bonnet, a former intelligence chief, says of Merah: "He was known to the DCRI... because he had a handler in domestic intelligence." According to intelligence sources that spoke to Il Foglio, France's General Directorate of External Security obtained entry into Israel for Merah in 2010, presenting him as an informant.
