(Daily Mail) — A self-confessed Al Qaeda terrorist thought to have murdered seven people across south west France over the past two weeks was going to post footage of his crimes online today, he claimed.

Mohammed Mera, 24, told news channel France 24′s editor Ebba Kalondo at 1am this morning he had ‘filmed everything’ with a small video camera and ‘intended to put the videos online’.

But just two hours later more than 300 armed police dramatically raided his Toulouse home – where three officers were injured – and he is now cornered and under siege.

He has been described as ‘armed and dangerous’ with a cache including an Uzi machine gun and Kalashnikov assault rifle, with police saying he is likely to kill again.

It has also emerged he was being tracked by French security services ‘for years’ and had broken out of a jail in Kandahar, Afghanistan, as part of a mass Taliban escape in 2008.

He said he is punishing France’s army for its foreign interventions and the plight of Palestinian children – and has promised to give himself up later today.

He earlier threw a pistol from a window, in exchange for a ‘communication device’ – and police are now blowing entry points into the building in preparation for a raid.

The suspected serial killer is thought to have killed a Rabbi and three pupils at a Jewish school in the city on Monday, and to have assassinated three soldiers last week.

French Interior Minister Claude Gueant said the man, a French-Algerian who had made several visits to Afghanistan, was acting out of revenge for France’s military involvement in the country.

The man, who describes himself as an Islamic warrior, also wanted to take revenge for what he describes as the ‘murder’ of Palestinian children by Israeli forces.

‘He claims to be a Mujahideen and to belong to Al Qaeda,’ said Mr Gueant, who is at the scene of the tense stand-off.

Let me get this straight, the "islamic cowpie" is mad at the Israeli's so he murders children in France... makes perfect sense to me.

This war with islam will never end.

Let's put a face to the victims of this jihadi coward. He apparently ran little Miriam Monsonego into a corner, put a pistol to her head, and executed her. Until we, as a nation, confront the evil that is Islam, this will never end.

Witnesses described how the gunman aimed at whoever was in his path, first shooting Jonathan Sandler, 30, a rabbi and teacher, along with his two sons, Aryeh, six, and Gavriel, three, as they waited for a minibus to take them to their nursery. All three are dead.

Then, when his 9mm weapon jammed, the killer switched to a .45-calibre gun, entered the school gates and chased children as they fled for cover.

He shot a 17-year-old pupil, who is now fighting for his life in hospital, and then cornered eight-year old Miriam, the daughter of the school principal, Yaacov Monsonego. He put the gun to her head and shot her.

Yup, makes perfect sense, because we all know that the true "Islamic Warrior" can only pick fights with women, children, and other defenseless people's.

And, no this "war" will never end, in fact I don't even think we've gotten started. The last ten-years is only the preamble to years of religious and fundamental cultural difference.

How can someone become radicalized by reading the Koran? I thought Islam was a religion of peace that has been hijacked by extremists.

...Merah had told police he was radicalised while in prison, during which time he began reading the Koran.

As a parent of little girl close in age, I could only imagine the fear going through that little girls head, before this scum murdered her

The Jewish world is quite small, I know some of the Sandler's relatives here in the US. As for the French, can you say: échouer, again...
