There was an escapee with the same name, but it (probably?) wasn't the Frenchman. <br /><br />The 'real' Merah did, however, travel to Afghanistan where he was picked up in a road block, and turned over the U.S. authorities. He was put on a plane back to France. That was probably the right thing to do, but it highlights the complexity of the legal issues surrounding arrests, detentions, etc, in the 'war on terror.'Mark Gardinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02154551041344739208noreply@blogger.com
