A brother of Mohamed Merah — the Islamic radical who killed seven people in attacks on a Jewish school and French paratroopers in 2012 — has been ordered to stand trial in France on terrorism charges.
The prosecutor's office said Abdelkhader Merah, 33, is accused of involvement in an Al-Qaeda-related group that plotted attacks against Jews and soldiers and obtained weapons and stole a scooter for his brother's rampage in the southwestern French city of Toulouse.
