Brother goes on trial accused of aiding Toulouse terror attacks gunman

The older brother of a French extremist who killed seven people in a series of attacks on a Jewish school and soldiers is going on trial accused of complicity in the 2012 shooting spree which in retrospect marked the start of an era of home-grown jihadi violence in France.
The criminal trial of Abdelkader Merah, 35, will be the first time a French court considers charges over the attacks in which three Jewish children, a teacher and three paratroopers died over nine days in the Toulouse region.
