Sarkozy: Toulouse trauma similar to 9/11 attacks

French President Nicolas Sarkozy said Friday that the "trauma caused by the killing in Toulouse are somewhat comparable to the (trauma) caused by the September 11 attacks in the United States."

Speaking in a radio interview, the president said he did not wish to compare the two horrors, but noted that "the important thing to understand is that the trauma of Toulouse runs deep inside our country." (AFP)
