The French President Nicolas Sarkozy says the gunman responsible for the murders of a teacher and three children at a school in Toulouse was the same one that killed three soldiers in similar incidents last week. In a nationwide television broadcast, Mr Sarkozy said the same weapon was used each time. French police also believe the same vehicle was used. Chris Bockman, a journalist who's in Toulouse, says similarities between the attacks have been clear from the start.

法国总统萨科齐表示，在图卢兹杀害1名教师和3名儿童的凶手，和上周类似案件中杀害3名士兵的凶手是同一人。萨科齐发表全国电视广播讲话，他说凶手两次作案的凶器都一样，法国警察认为凶手两次用的车辆也一样。BBC驻图卢兹记者Chris Bockman说，两起袭击案从一开始就很相似。

"This is no surprise after the attack which happened this morning. It bore all the hallmarks of the earlier ones. They are targeting ethnic minorities, using a motorcycle with a helmet, clear day and then fleeing. This city has about 800,000 people. It's the fourth biggest city in France. And you have to imagine this city now is in lockdown mode. Police have been drafted in from all around the country, and they basically have checkpoints up everywhere. I've never seen quite so many police everywhere just checking on everyone, basically to find this one person."

“今天的袭击案不足为奇，和前一次的袭击案特点一样，都是袭击少数族裔，凶手骑着一辆摩托车，头戴头盔，在光天化日下作案并逃离现场。该市有大约80万人口，是法国第四大城市。可以想象这个城市现在是戒备状态了，目前在全国范围内调集警力，到处都有检查站。我从未见过哪里有这么多警察，他们每个人都检查，只是为了找到那个凶手。”
