A man who made death threats against the Jewish school in Toulouse where Mohammed Merah killed four people last year was ordered jailed for a year.
Lucien Abdelrhafor, 20, in an expedited court procedure Monday also received an additional year’s suspended jail term for phoning in the threats to the Ohr Hatorah school, the French daily L’Express reported.
According to SPCJ, the French Jewish community’s security service, the man called the school on Sept. 16 and told a secretary, “I am Mohammed Merah’s cousin and I’m coming over tonight to kill you.”
Merah in March 2012 gunned down a rabbi and three children at the school, which changed its name from Ozar Hatorah after the attack.
Abdelrhafor in the call claimed to be a “cousin” of Merah — a false claim, according to SPCJ.
SPCJ said police have arrested several callers who threatened violence against the school following the shooting.
French police believe Merah planned the shooting with his older brother, Abelkader, who is in prison awaiting trial.
