Police keep relatives of French gunman in custody

PARIS (dpa): The mother, brother and sister-in law of the man suspected in a string of deadly attacks in France are to remain in police custody over suspected links to Muslim extremists, local media reported Friday.
Mohamed Merah, 23, was suspected of having shot dead three soldiers of North African and West Indian origin and a teacher and three children at a Jewish school.
He died in a hail of gunfire after a 32-hour stand-off with police in Toulouse.
Sources close to the investigation said Merah's brother in particular is thought to have had ties to religious extremists. The 29-year old has denied any knowledge of the crimes.
