Murdered at the Altar
26th July 2016
A PRIEST has reportedly been beheaded and another hostage is ‘fighting for their life’ after two knife-wielding men two nuns and several worshippers hostage at a church in northern France.
A third suspect has reportedly been arrested outside the church after a pair of ‘bearded’ attackers were shot and killed after reportedly ‘creeping’ into a Catholic mass at 9am in the French town of Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, near Rouen.
Local media claims Father Jacques Hamel, believed to be 86-years-old, was the priest who was slaughtered by the ‘extremist’ duo.
ISIS supporters are celebrating the horrific attack at the church which was reportedly on a terrorist ‘hit list’ which it is claimed French police have known about since April 2015 – following the arrest of an extremist in Paris last year.
