An update on this tragic incident shows that one of the hostages that was seriously injured
is no longer in a life-threatening condition.
However, the French media are reporting that one of the murderers was well known to the
Police for his verve towards ISIS.
'One of a pair of ISIS knifemen who stormed a church in Normandy before slitting the throat
of an elderly priest has been named as known terror threat Adel Kermiche.
The 19-year-old 'ISIS soldier' was being monitored with an electronic ankle tag after he was
arrested for twice attempting to flee France to join the terror group in Syria.
Despite having been released early from prison, Kermiche's bail conditions allowed him to
roam unsupervised between 8.30am and 12.30pm, leaving him free to murder the priest in
the attack carried out between 9am and 11am.
Kermiche and his accomplice - also known to French police - forced 84-year-old Father Jacques
Hamel to kneel before filming themselves butchering him and performing a 'sermon in Arabic' at
the altar of the church in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, according to witnesses.
Both were shot dead by police marksmen as they emerged from the building shouting 'Allahu Akbar'
following the attack that also left a nun critically injured.
Sister Danielle, a nun who escaped, said: 'They told me "you Christians, you kill us".
They forced him to his knees. He wanted to defend himself. And that's when the tragedy happened.
They recorded themselves. They did a sort of sermon around the altar, in Arabic. It's a horror.'
French President Francois Hollande, who visited the scene on Tuesday, said the country is now 'at war'
with ISIS after the terror group claimed responsibility.'
