...the Paras could have been
targeted because the shooter thought they were 'traitors to Islam' if he was a jihadist of some kind.

Certainly a possibility.  I wouldn't rule anything out yet.

They seem more convinced he was not a Jihadist, but a Neo-Nazi. Not sure why they think this, however.

Here's a shocker:

QuoteAbout 300 police officers surrounded an apartment in the south of France on Wednesday, trying to coax a man whom authorities called a self-styled al Qaeda jihadist to surrender after a series of shootings that left seven people dead.

the bbc the same

"The man, named as Mohammed Merah, 23, a Frenchman of Algerian origin, has said he belongs to al-Qaeda and acted to "avenge Palestinian children"."

Im sure mossad will want to ask him a question or 2.

Hmm... They must have been thrown off track by the other killings and the presence of radical parties in the south.

Gusington

Note the words 'self styled' which to me mean that he really is not a member of anything. He sympathizes with Al Qaeda. This will really bolster the cause for immigrants in France that has been all the rage lately :/

I thought I heard on TV that he had escaped from prison in Afghanistan, but that could just be one of those jumbled facts that aren't true but somehow make it into the news when a story is still being sorted out.

Apparently the French police were involved in a shoot-out with the suspect. This news gets worse as time goes on.

Which is crazy on the surface. They've got him surrounded. Time is on their side. All you've gotta do is wait him out - then you get him alive and can interrogate him to your heart's content.

Hey...how many French police officers does it take to apprehend one al Qaeda jihadist?

Apparently, all of them...and the issue is still in doubt.

Let's just hope they don't surrender.

Prepared to wait as he is going nowhere and is much more use to them alive. Let's see if this one is prepared to sacrifice himself for his religion when it would seem he can't take anyone else with him?

Dead, jumping from a window, wonder if he will be buired at sea ?.
