mohamed merah was killed by police after thirty two hours seizure and to lose his life may have ended that day but his story has given france's presidential hopefuls an excuse for electioneering with ever more radical rhetoric . that's given rise to a huge political debate and what's made it to the foreground of the discourse is mary background she told me from now on anyone who regularly consults internet sites which promotes terrill hatred and violence will be sentenced to prison any person going abroad for the indoctrination in terrorist ideology will be criminally punished. so that's in addition to sarkozy's policy of stripping foreign born criminals of their citizenship further tightening border control saying there are too many foreigners in france and promising to bar radical muslim preachers from entering the country to participate in the islamic conference next month the clearly appropriate thing the political extremist view is not occurring we have freedom of speech in france and they don't see. the restricted to. what the french citizen any family came to france a very long

why did police not succeed in capturing mohamed merah alive? had he not been identified as a suspect earlier? mohamed merah was already known to french security officers. his name was even on a list of u.s. terror suspects. the prime minister of france rejected criticism of the authorities' handling of the case. free country like ours without a court order to put a person under extended surveillance to has not been convicted of a crime. >> in response to the french government sayit is workingn new anti-terrorism legislation. paris once the bill passed by parliament before the april 22 presidential election. >> there has been no let up in the violence in syria. at least 15 people were killed, and president assad opposition crack down on friday. >> in damascus, anti-regime protests were held in mosques after prayers. tens of thousands of opposition supporters took to the street, like here in idlib province, the scene of much recent violence. demonstrators called for syria's leaders to be put o trial. the united states says new eu sanctions agains

the police had hoped to take mohammed merah alive. what had they wanted to learn from him?

mohamed merah is perhaps only the tip of the iceberg it's time to wage war in this fundamentalist political religious groups i kill him now when children who threaten was slimy fundamentalism has been underestimated. and i think all that's been announced after these tragic events are proposals put forward soley for the election it goes to the one who proposes the most radical solutions which we aim supposedly at solving the problem but the problem is much deeper with our now the growing number of immigrants in france about six million of whom are muslims is being labeled as a problem by some prominent figures politicians are throwing around what they call solutions but the question is whether any of these policy ideas on immigration or security are realistic are addressing an actual problem or simply the consequences of something more fundamental the core of the problem is that it's pretty difficult to to create what is the goal of the problem there doesn't seem to be much consensus on that either this or sylvia r.t. paris planet of the palms in the u.k. were threatened strike by fuel deliv

was mohamed merah ever under any kind of police surveillance for terrorism since he came back from afghanistan? "he'd done nothing" said the prosecutor "to attract our attention." but merah was on the u.s. no-fly list, and american officials say he was known to french authorities. even so, he was able to amass an arsenal, including an uzi submachine gun, several handguns and a shotgun, weapons he put to deadly use this attacks that left seven dead. merah is no longer able to explain the how and why of his islamist radicalization, but, scott, police have his brother under arrest and they're hoping he can shed some light on whether mohamed merah was acting alone or whether he was part of an of it terrorist network here in europe. >> pelley: a lot of questions unanswered. liz, thanks very much. we wondered how merah got on the u.s. no-fly list. it turns out correspondent bob orr has found, back in 2010, the f.b.i. noticed that merah had been detained in afghanistan and released to france, and that's all it took. so far, it doesn't seem that merah tried to get into the united states. it turns out

. >> police closed in on mohamed merah in the early hours of this morning. >> a 32-hour siege. bursts of gunfire come -- repeatedly rang out. police commandos stormed the apartment where 23-year-old mohamed merah had been holed up for 20 hours. he emerged, and then he was dead. he was shot in the head by a police marksman. he was armed and there were arms and molotov cocktails in the apartment. sarkozy stressed the operation was not intended to end the way it did. >> everything was done to deliver the killer to justice. but it was inconceivable to put lives at risk. there had already been enough deaths. the victims -- children, soldiers, and their families -- are in my thoughts. we offer our condolences to the entire nation. footage circulating the internet shows merah posing behind the wheel of a car. he reportedly admitted to the seven murders in and around toulouse. but a group linked to al-qaeda has also claimed responsibility. investigators will be looking into whether merah had ties to terrorist cells. they are sure he was the gunman. he says there were videos of all the

and at the time to see if the gunman, mohammed merah, was indeed dead or alive. it turns out now clearly that he was alive and that he came out guns ablazing. there had been no contact or signs of life since yesterday evening of the individual. do remember that merah himself had told police that he wanted to die with his guns in his hands. it does look like now that he had his wish, even though the police were saying consistently that they had preferred to have captured him alive and to bring him to justice. i'm jim maceda, nbc news reporting from toulouse. >>> back here in the east bay, the highway patrol trying to track down a driver who bolted from his car on foot after leading officers on a pursuit through several cities. the highway patrol says officers tried to bull over a blue saturn suv. but the driver would not pull over. and he led officers on pursuit all the way into oakland. the driver and passenger got out of the car and ran away. >> perimeter was set up. unfortunately we did not apprehend the driver. however, we do have information that leads us to
