French President Nicolas Sarkozy has urged TV stations not to air video of the attacks by gunman Mohamed Merah as al-Jazeera discusses showing footage. Senior officials at the satellite TV channel are meeting in Qatar to consider the recording, received by the channel's bureau in Paris. Merah filmed himself shooting dead Jewish children and unarmed soldiers. French police are seeking a third person over the theft of a scooter he used, a police source told AFP. Merah's brother Abdelkader has already been charged with helping him steal the powerful Yamaha scooter. Mohamed Merah was killed in a police siege at his flat in Toulouse on Thursday after the gun attacks, in Toulouse and Montauban, which left seven people dead and two wounded. 'For the victims' "I ask of those in charge of all the TV channels in possession of these images not to broadcast the images under any pretext out of respect for the victims and out of respect for the republic," Mr Sarkozy said. He was speaking to magistrates and policemen who took part in the Merah case, at the Elysee presidential palace in Paris. Al-Jazeera's Paris bureau confirmed for the BBC News website that talks were under way in Qatar. Earlier, the bureau's chief, Zied Tarrouche, said the channel was discussing whether to broadcast video of "one of the Merah killings". "We are not a sensational network, we do not want to distribute images without measuring the risks and the consequences," he was quoted as saying by French TV channel TF1.
