Toulouse killer's brother 'may have met radicals in the UK' The brothers were known to the DCRI, the French domestic intelligence agency, as members of Forsane Alizza [Knights of Pride], an organisation associated with the group Sharia4UK and another called Sharia4Belgium. Police reportedly found explosives in Abdelkader's car and can hold him for 96 hours before charges are brought. In January, Forsane Alizza was banned in France for inciting racial hatred, but the group has reformed on the internet. Mr Choudary said Merah's attacks - in which he who shot dead three soldiers, a Rabbi and three children - were "not verifiable." He said: "I'm not going to judge this individual," but added that "shooting someone in the head, it is completely unacceptable." Sources told The Daily Telegraph that French investigators had not alerted them to concerns about the brothers or potential links between the French group and extremists in the UK. Police believe the Merah brothers may have been drawn to an Islamist nicknamed "the white emir" by the French press. Syrian-born Olivier Corel, 65, admitted to The Telegraph yesterday that he had been visited on at least one occasion by Abdelkader.
