#CHURCH WAS ON #ISIS HIT LIST Catholic church where priest was murdered was among several targets found on suspected jihadi arrested last year

THE CHURCH where a priest was murdered by Islamist knifemen was on a ‘hit list’ found on an alleged ISIS terrorist.
Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray was one of a number of Catholic churches singled out for attacks by the terror group.
Sid Ahmed Ghlam, 24, was arrested in April 2015 after he called an ambulance in Paris after shooting himself in the leg.

Father Jacques Hamel, 86, was murdered at the altar by two fanatics earlier today while holding a morning service.

He was reportedly beheaded by the knifemen who took two nuns and several worshippers hostage at the church in northern France before being shot dead by police.

Another hostage is said to be ‘fighting for their life’.

Investigators believe he was a terrorist planning ‘imminent attacks’ in France on the instructions of ISIS leaders.

Investigators found an arsenal of weapons in Ghlam’s car, which was parked nearby, and at his student accommodation.
