THE ENIGMA OF MOHAMED MERAH | M6 | 66 minutes

Ten days after his death, Mohamed Merah remains a mystery. Was he a “minor hoodlum”, a loner, as some say, or the tool of a terrorist organization? Did the police keep him under sufficient surveillance? What really happened during the never-ending siege of his home by RAID hit squads? Could they have taken him alive? Thanks to many new witnesses and fresh amateur footage taken by neighbors during the final shoot-out, 66 Minutes retraces the murderer’s path. In particular we find out how much the killer of Toulouse earned and how he spent his money. Via the accounts of the RAID officers and of neighbours who heard and saw the siege of his apartment, we also review the endless negotiations and the final assault.
