Pair in chilling IS video are French
Investigators are also looking into whether the man is related to an extremist who attacked a Jewish school in southern France in 2012, an official said.
The official, who has close ties to intelligence services, also said another French fighter whose death in a suicide bombing was announced this week by IS is a young teenager. The man in the video speaks with a southern French accent and looks like the step-brother of Mohammed Merah, who killed seven people in attacks on a Jewish school and paratroopers in the south of France beginning on March 11, 2012.
