MURDERED AT THE ALTAR Elderly priest ‘beheaded’ by two knife attackers who take nuns and ‘several’ worshipers prisoner in #French church as #ISIS supporters celebrate online

A PRIEST has reportedly been beheaded and another hostage is ‘fighting for their life’ after two knife-wielding men took 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 raiding 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 who President Francois Hollande said “claimed to be from” ISIS.

Supporters of the depraved death cult 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.
