Lawyer: Toulouse suspect said he "did nothing"

(CBS/AP) PARIS - A lawyer said she has evidence that the man accused of killing seven people in attacks in southwestern France claimed his innocence to police.

Mohamed Merah was killed after a more than 30-hour standoff with authorities, who have said he confessed to the killing spree and refused to surrender peacefully.

But a lawyer for Merah's father now says that she has two videos of the 23-year-old saying he "did nothing."

Zahia Mokhtari described the videos to BFM television but would not detail how she got them.

Police say Merah filmed himself killing seven people in a spate of attacks in early March. The dead included three Jewish schoolchildren, a rabbi and three paratroopers.

Merah, who espoused radical Islam and said he had links to al Qaeda, was shot in the head after a standoff with police last week in the southern city of Toulouse.

Merah's father has asked Mokhtari to file a lawsuit against the elite police force, RAID, that killed his son.

A police official said Monday that Merah had given police evidence that proved he was the perpetrator. He spoke on condition of anonymity, citing policy.
