TOULOUSE, France — The lawyer for the now-dead gunman who claimed responsibility for a killing spree in southern France says the man split up with his wife days before the attacks and was suffering “psychological difficulties.”
Lawyer Christian Etelin, speaking Wednesday to The Associated Press, said he believes Mohamed Merah acted as a “lone wolf,” not part of a terrorist network.

( France 2, File / Associated Press ) - FILE - This undated and unlocated frame grab provided Wednesday, March 21, 2012, by French TV station France 2 shows the suspect in the killing of 3 paratroopers, 3 children and a rabbi in recent days, Mohamed Merah. Mohamed Merah grew up in one of the toughest housing projects of Toulouse, with his mother, two brothers and two sisters. At age five, his parents split up _ and he took that hard. He turned to a life of petty crime, landing in prison twice. How the young man described by one top official as a “little failure” went on to carry out France’s biggest terror spree since the mid-1990s is provoking anguished questions in one of the West’s most-seasoned terrorism-fighting nations.
Police say Merah, 23, filmed himself killing three Jewish schoolchildren, a rabbi and three paratroopers. Merah was killed in a gunfight with police last week.
Police are searching for potential accomplices, and Merah’s brother is in custody.
Etelin said Merah married in an Islamic ceremony, but the couple separated days before the first attack March 11. They had no civil ceremony, required for the marriage to be recognized in France.
