TOULOUSE, France (Reuters) - A man claiming to be a member of al Qaeda has taken several hostages in a bank in the south-western French city of Toulouse, a police union source said on Wednesday.
The source said the MAN (MAN.XE)had fired a shot and could be holding up to four people. The Interior Ministry was not immediately available to comment.
In March, an al Qaeda-inspired gunman shot dead three soldiers, a rabbi and three Jewish children in Toulouse. The man was later shot dead by police after a standoff at his home in the city.
