Sarkozy wades into argument over Toulouse terrorist’s burial
President Nicolas Sarkozy called Thursday for gunman Mohamed Merah to be buried quickly in France without argument after both his hometown and ancestral homeland refused his remains.
Merah, who killed seven people before he was shot last week, had been due to be buried in Toulouse after Algeria rejected his body, but the mayor then decided a funeral in the city of his birth would be “inappropriate”. (AFP)
