French Interior Minister Claude Guéant says suspect wanted revenge for 'Palestinian children' and French army's foreign intervention; police source says raid began on a house in Toulouse at 3 A.M. local time, and is ongoing.
The European Union denied Tuesday that its foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton drew a parallel between the French Jewish school shooting and the situation in Gaza after Israel slammed her remarks.
Israel Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman criticized EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton for making a parallel between the murder of Jews at a school in Toulouse with Gaza.

The bodies of four Franco-Israeli citizens, three of them young children, who were murdered in a French school shooting were to be flown to Israel on Tuesday, a Jewish community body said.
