" French paper Le Point reported that French police are searching for three former paratroopers in connection with the Toulouse Jewish school shooting that left four dead.

According to the report, the paratroopers were dismissed over suspicion of being neo-Nazis in 2008. The Jerusalem Post could not confirm the report. "

" Earlier in the day Gil Taieb, a vice president of the CRIF, France's Jewish umbrella group, told The Jerusalem Post he had no doubt the attack was a hate crime.

"For someone to locate this school in a place like Toulouse means he knew what he was doing," Taieb said. "He went there to kill Jews." "

Once again the media leaps to the conclusion that the far right must be the perpetrators of the crime. Could it be that racism was a factor in these crimes - that the institutions of the French Government are so bent towards looking the other way, when it comes Algerians, that they would fail to pick up on a murderous terrorist?
