French jihadist killer Mohamed Merah's Brother jailed

The brother of the French jihadist who murdered seven people in Toulouse, including three Jewish children, has been jailed for 20 years.
A court in Paris found Abdelkader Merah guilty of terrorist offences.
But he was cleared of having a direct role in the 2012 attacks, in which his younger sibling, Mohamed Merah, shot three soldiers and then three children and a teacher at a Jewish school.

The court also jailed a second suspect, Fettah Malki, 34, for 14 years.
