Four people have been taken hostage in a bank in the southern French city of Toulouse by a man claiming to be linked to al-Qaeda, police said. The man demanded to speak to the elite police unit that shot Islamist gunman Mohamed Merah. Officials said the gunman first demanded money. When he was refused, a shot was fired and hostages taken. There are no reports of injuries so far. The area around the bank has been cordoned off and a nearby school has been closed.
